start with that.

The usual debugging method is to try deactivating checksum offload on
all interfaces (domU's ethx, dom0's vifx.y, dom0's ethx), try without
vlan, or change to newer kernel. But the thing is the default kernel
and Xen package on debian stable is simply old and unmaintained (I
assume you use the default package, last updated 24 Mar 2009?), and is
known to have some bugs, so sometimes it's a lot easier to simply jump
to using a newer Xen and kernel version.

Personally I use RHEL5 + default 2.6.18 kernel-xen + (on some servers)
updated Xen 3.4.x RPM from Gitco, works great. But changing distros
might be too much effort :D So what I suggest is you do is try see if
debian has newer xen kernel available (from unstable?) and use it for
dom0 and domU. If they don't have it, try using latest 2.6.31 kernel +
patch from http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-xen-kernel/downloads/list.
