sockets connect() behaving strangely on local network

Scott Klement, I hope you're out there reading...

I am trying both your tutorial example (CLIENTEX1) and the examples from
the "Sorcerer's Guide..." redbook.  In both cases, if I attempt to make a
connect() to a server on the internet and I disable the interface that the
internet traffic travels on, the connect returns -1 as its return code
immediately, which is what I want.

If I attempt to make a connect() to a server on our LAN (199.xxx.xxx.xxx)
and disable all the interface that the LAN traffic travels on, the program
sits at the connect() statement for about two minutes before returning -1
as the return code.  Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
