Dear All,

I have googled something which may help to solve my problem.

*[Xen-devel] Network drop on domU (netfront: rx->offset: 0, size:
4294967295)*
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-05/msg01274.html

Virtualization Tip: Always disable checksumming on virtual ethernet devices
http://hightechsorcery.com/2008/03/virtualization-tip-always-disable-checksumming-virtual-ethernet-devices


Let me try to work on it first.
