This has nothing to do with GPLPV. Just Windows that doesn't like two 
network devices configured with the same static IP Address, even when 
disabled.
I run into the same trouble, but on reboot windows even didn't accept 
the address for the GPLPV device and came up without working network, 
that killed a Terminalserver Install for me.
So do the following:

Reboot with "nogplpv" and switch the RTL device to "DHCP", then reboot 
with gplpv and assign the static address to the xennet device. Otherwise 
you always will run into deep trouble.
Sincerly,
Klaus
