The packets never leave the source. We had to change a customer implementation because Macs and other sensible OS could connect but Windows XP hosts (many of them - all running SP3) could not. And if you read the Microsoft technote about it, they will tell you it doesn't work for everything XP SP3 and earlier and it is fixed in Vista.
