This can be the rfc1413 timeout. Check your config for
rfc1413_query_timeout and set this to 0s (or add this option, since the
default value is 5s).

Linux probably just refuses the connection, while windows drops the
connection attempts, leading to a timeout.

You may tcpdump/tshark trace the ident protocol port 113/tcp.
