Windows reports the the Internet connection is connected and shared. It also reports and that LAN is connected. Linux Network Manager reports that the LAN is connected and active via eth0.

you run your box as restricted user !

find under c:\windows\system32 files with the ending of cpl
( == entries of your control panel)
try: run as (shift key in explorer) firewall.cpl or wscui.cpl (security
