Under Windows, something like this (i.e. an annoying delay) happens
when you're running the builtin server with "-k" and using IE as the
browser. Unfortunately, if you don't use the "-k" option, IE doesn't
play nice with it and everything blows up. But this shouldn't have
anything to do with LAN interfaces, at least in theory.

If you're ever able to test under these same conditions, it would be
nice to know if the problem was also present when using FireFox as the
browser.
