SAM V71 Xplained network issue

[mccrashman]

A few day's ago i started testing the network feature of the SAM V71 Xplained board. There are some examples in the SAMV71-XULT Atmel Studio Software Package 1.3. So i have tried them out.

So far so good. Now i have modified the lwip example (cause i have done some projects in the past with it), but unfortunately there are some problems. I have set up a tcp server port on the board which should send out a data stream captured from a line sensor, but the transmission suddenly stopps after a few seconds of transfer.

So i have took a closer look with wireshark what happens. And it looks as if the SAM doesn't recognize the ACK pakages from my host pc. I can see a lot of duplicate ack packets from my host an tcp retransmissions from the SAM.

So i want to ask, if someone else had these problems. It looks as if the original examples has the same problems if i stress them.
