I am not sure what it is you want to do.  Are you trying to network the
two computers together with firewire?  Even then what do you hope to
accomplish?  Are you trying to share files (ie. PCM .wav or some such)?
 Are trying to do the final mixing etc. on the linux box?  Are you
trying to have Ableton show up in your Jack list of inputs/outputs?

You can output PCM (.wav) files from your Windows machine to the
Desktop, but I am not aware of a netjack for windows that allows your
laptop with Windows to participate directly with Jack on your Ubuntu
Studio Desktop.  I know that this is possible if your laptop was also
running Linux (http://netjack.sourceforge.net/).  Of course I routinely
import wav and flac files from people with Windows or Mac based DAWs.

Perhaps restating the question with your ideal outcome will help us to
understand what you are trying to do, and hopefully be able to help you
to accomplish it.

Hth,
