[Xen-users] peth0: received packet with own address as source address

Howdy,

 Wondering if anyone can shed any light on this:

 I had a hard drive crash in a machine (P4 2.6GHz, Debian Etch, Xen 
3.0.3), and being lazy, I took a new drive, partitioned and formatted, 
mounted as a slave into an existing machine, and did a:
     "cp -a /source/* /dest/"

 Off a rescue disk, to get all the data copied over. I then went in and 
changed hostname and IP configuration in the appropriate places, 
restored both machines to operating order, and started them up.
 Both machines come up and are accessible on the network. However, 
before too much time passes, the following messages start to appear on 
the console of both machines, and continue over time:
    peth0: received packet with  own address as source address

 Googling for some clue, apparently this message appeared in certain 
Xen configurations, and was (presumably?) due to IPv6 configuration 
issues.. I don't even have IPv6 compiled into the kernels on these 
machines, so that doesn't appear to be my issue.
 I've scrounged through the Xen scripts and believe I see where peth0 
is being created and brought online, but I see nothing there that 
references an existing file to get ID from, or anything that would seem 
to create an interface with duplicate settings as the other machine.
 Seems like some sort of static data was duplicated during the copy and 
is not auto-generated, so both machines see each other's traffic on 
peth0? Question is.. what/where?
 Any clues/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks!

-Matthew
