 Using the --send-ip option does seem to work. I won't be able to get
 a packet capture until later, though. I will forward that along as
 soon as I can.


Hey Mike, are you by any chance connecting to a wireless AP with client
isolation turned on?  In addition to a packet capture, the output of
"arp -a" after a scan could be moderately useful.

I do have a wireless AP, but client isolation isn't turned on AFAIK. When I run a packet capture in Wireshark, I see two ARP messages like the following sent from my machine:

ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
00:1e:52:83:c6:a6
0x0806
0x0001
0x0800
0x06
0x04
00:01
00:1e:52:83:c6:a6
192.168.1.194
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
192.168.1.190

More information: This Windows 7 box is running inside VMWare with NATed networking on the same physical box as the source of the query.
