I can *not* confirm this. All I see in wireshark is a ping request sent to the 
MAC address of my router, which means that windows tries to send the packet to 
the default route since it does not find a match in its routing table. The 
NIC's metric does decide which interface is used, but I can not communicate via 
unicast to an AutoIP device (BTW: Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, 
Service Pack 3).

Any input on this is greatly appreciated!
