sounds a bit like you're having difficulty with checksums.

the following is a way to disable ip checksums *in dom0*; I don't know 
whether the same works in domU, but you could give it a try:

Set "ip:dohwcksum" to 0 in /etc/system. Reboot, retest, report results.

(btw: that means you need to add a line looking like this:
	set ip:dohwcksum = 0
to /etc/system in your domU)
