[Users] Re: network problems: eth0: received packet with own address as source address

[frank]

Hi again,
I have more specific information about this.

Problem seems to be related with the addition of veth to bridge 
interface. Main Host interface eth0 is joined to a bridge in startup in 
order to VEs can join its veths to the same subnet. This bridge has the 
host IP, and it takes its MAC from eth0. But when a VE is started, its 
veth is joined to the same bridge, and the bridge changes its MAC to 
veth one !! That's when network problems start.

I have made some tests in other servers, and there, bridge MAC remain as 
eth0 MAC all the time, it does not change with veth additions.
I don't know why bridge MAC change when a new veth is joined.

Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Frank
