Good to know. I am surprise about this though. I understand when the cRIO is rebooting, the link is lost. If the PC ethernet takes time to "recover" and so does the Ethernet switch (reestablishing link to the cRIO). But I suppose most of the swtiches may be able to recover faster than some of the PC ethernet adapters. Also, if the "formatting timeout" is short enough that it doesn't even allow the ethernet adapter to "recover", it's really too short. Any plan to fix this issue in the future?
