I tried to understand what this flag is for. As far as I can understand, 
windows will always reply to ARP requests. There's a registry entry for 
"gratuitous arp". So doesn't that imply IFF_NOARP will be set for all 
interfaces?

I downloaded the snapshot as of today. The 3 second delays are no longer 
present (thanks!).

Best Regards,
Jason.
