Actually, after reading a bit about this flag, the usage in Cygwin
seems to be wrong anyway.  I applied a patch so that IFF_NOARP is
only set for PPP and SLIP devices, so the call to SendARP is gone.
Please test CVS or the next developer snapshot.

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.
