Right, I get the same issue if there is a second media receiver using
multicast in my network. My switch doesn't know anything of IGMP so he
forwards multicast TV streams to any port. If that happens the Nut/OS
can't even get an IP address via DHCP but hangs up after opening the
network stack.
Can you check if we're talkin about the same problem and try to boot up
your application with enabled DHCP? It should fail and might even hang
up completely.

Bernd and some others are investigating this during the work of
implementation of IPv6. I myself started investigation but had to shift
cause lots of work and not much time left.

Bernd, Ole, Harald? Any update on that?
