Now, on the loopback connection (obv. on the Vista computer), the

More hmm.  But that actually means it's using an AF_INET6 socket for an
IPv4 addresses.  If the target is V4 anyway, why?  V4 routing through a

An INET6 socket should always use mapped addresses to represent IPv4 connections by design.
