Re: Kernel bug, or x-file?
Are there more than only one network interfaces that are connected to the same
switch/hub/router-with-multiple-ports? If so then it's an old known problem.
If you have this kind of setup then try set the "arp-filter" on.
for example: echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
if this doesn't help pease give more details.
how does your routing-table looks like?
what says: ifconfig
and what entries are in your: arp table
