Re: [lwip-users] Windows 7 Startup crashes LwIP and Free RTOS

Well, as long as it is a home only project for fun, I can understand that it's 
ok like that. However, if that same setup is used in a real product, I would 
also suggest to go deeper into it. Especially since turning off promiscuous 
points to a havey-load condition problem which I would expect to be located in 
the ethernet diver.
