Disable any firewall running on both Linux and on Windows. This should do
it for Linux:
export FW=/sbin/iptables
for i in filter nat mangle; do $FW -F -t $i; done
for i in INPUT OUTPUT FORWARD; do $FW -P $i ACCEPT; done
for i in PREROUTING OUTPUT POSTROUTING; do \
$FW -t nat -P $i ACCEPT; done
for i in PREROUTING INPUT FORWARD OUTPUT POSTROUTING; do \
$FW -t mangle -P $i ACCEPT; done

I suggest getting another mouse. You can get a cheap one for less than $10
at many shops.
If you are using a PS/2 mouse instead of USB, and it sounds like you are,
stop hot swapping it. PS/2 hardware is not hot swappable. On older
hardware, you could fry the motherboard doing that. On modern hardware, it
usually works, but there is a chance to fry the keyboard or mouse port. Get
another mouse, or switch to USB.
