So I've dummied up a test case from some of the Arduino samples. All this does is create a TCP server on port 80, and every 10 seconds it'll poll an NTP server via UDP. Here's what will happen:
- It'll start listening on port 80 (W5100 socket #0)
- It'll do the NTP stuff from port 8888 on W5100 socket #1. (this works fine).
- It'll continue to do the NTP stuff every 10 seconds indefinitely and successfully.
- If you connect to the port 80 (e.g. browse there with a web server), it'll service the request on socket 0, and open a new listening port on socket 1, and then terminate socket 0.
- The NTP stuff continues every 10 seconds, but this time it's on socket 0. It works..
- Browse to port 80 again. This time it'll service on socket 1.
- NTP never works again. Web server works just fine forever...
Here's the sketch.
