We have a machine controller running Microchip firmware worked 100% with LINUX computers for 14 years via LAN (eth0). Now have requirement to run using Windows 7. Unfortunately Windows sends out a whole heap of gratuitous requests on a regular basis. Eventually these crash the microcontroller. I've been through the loop of disabling LLMNR, IGMP, SSDP, Routing, IPV6, ARP & NBT-NS. Helped but not solved. If I could stop the svchost requests it would help since the ARP requests don't seem to be an issue.
EDIT: svchost disabled :o)) "Disable Active Internet Probing (NCSI) in Windows"
