Loose screws withstanding, I think you're misunderstanding.
All of that is true except that Ubuntu networking is broken and so is Windows networking. That's what I find strange- how did vmware, which lived on the ubuntu partition, affect the windows partition?
Synopsis:
Dual boot Ubuntu 11.10 & Windows 7
Ubuntu had vmware player & virtual box.
Windows had virtual box.
All was happy until one of the vms (metasploitable) in Ubuntu bridged by default.
I have removed all virtualizing programs from both sides.
I'm still stuck in loopback on Ubuntu & no network on Windows.
I restored Windows, but virtual box still owns the network connection. Restore didn't fix the problem.
Thus leading me towards a hardware problem.
the output of ifconfig is
