I have the same problem when I use the clarkson ni6510-driver.
If I instead use the ipx.com packet-driver wich was included
with the Racal-Interlan Ni6510 Pc/tcp packet then I doesn't
get any errors in the console-window in Winqvt/net.

It seems to be some similar problem to both the ni5210 & ni6510
clarkson-packet drivers.
