It probably has to do with your network topology. A host on the same
Ethernet subnet will have a very short timeout on ARP requests, so it
won't
take long for it to know that a host is not there. A host on the other
side
of a router will wait much longer before giving up, because it has no
way of
knowing what the latency of the link is on the other side of the router.
Or, the two machine could simply have different default kernel-level
timeouts
(see sysctl(8)).
