That sounds like you have problems with some network offloading
settings.
Have you tried for example this in the domU:
ethtool -K eth0 tx off
Does that help? If it doesn't, try playing with the other offloading
settings.. you can check them with "ethtool -k eth0".
Do you have errors in the dom0 dmesg?
