It seems unlkley to me that windows would be arping more than any other OS 
while running, I would have thought that the network chattering windows 
does is more due to its, erm *interesting* implementaion of things like 
the network browser service.  Unless you know something I don't about 
windows IP subtletys (which isn't difficult, being as I spend all day 
working on Solaris - and at the moment IRIX).
