FYI , I have Depends on the protocol you're using.

Please advise . A CRC-error is no problem, that's the nature of an ethernet-network. Unless you're the only one attached to the UTP cable, then it shouldn't happen. But don't worry too much about it, they happen if you turn off/on the computer, ifcofnig up/down, disconnect the cable et al.
