It sounds like you haven't run 'ethtool -K eth0 tx off' on dom0.

You need to run that command on every xen virtual ethernet interface, or
you get corrupt checksums on random packets.  You can verify this by
running 'tcpdump' or 'ethereal' while doing the wget.

I hope this fix this problem by 3.0.2.  It's sure annoying.

You were exactly right Patrick; the following patch for /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge (thanks Nicholas -- http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-02/msg00747.html ) worked for me in fixing up my dom0's eth1:

      add_to_bridge2 ${bridge} ${pdev}
      do_ifup ${netdev}
      + # disable ip checksum offloading for veth device
      + [ -x /usr/sbin/ethtool ] && /usr/sbin/ethtool -K ${netdev} tx off


Thanks again,
