Can't stay connect after proxmox install

[Belassal]

Hello,

Never used virtualization before first time proxmox user, so `no stupid questions apply here `

Anyways, I just finished installing proxmox 2.3 (kernel 2.6.32-18-pve) on bare-metal hardware , rebooted and logged in with username/password of proxmox. As soon as i log-in i can ping other computer on the network (i.e. i can ping modem on 192.168.2.1) but few seconds later it stops working and i get Eth0: mismatched read page pointers

I am using an external network card `rtl8029as`.

I tried the two configurations (Default and Routed configurations) explained under `pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Network_Model` and no luck.

My /etc/hosts looks like (typing since i can access the net from the server):
`
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.2.20 proxmox.domain.com proxmox pvelocalhost


::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ......
.
.
`

my /etc/network/interfaces looks like:

`
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 2.2.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports none
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
`

Your help is very appreciated.

thanks.

Just to update: i decided to do the default network configuration (bridged) where:

`
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.2.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

`

rebooted the system. Everything worked for a little while (about 5 minutes). I was able to ping www.google.com, connect to https://192.168.2.20:8006/ from another computer on the network. Then it got disconnected.
When i look at `/var/log/messages` the error repeated is:

eth0: timeout waiting for Tx RDC
eth0: trigger_send() called with the transmitter busy

Any idea what this is?

thanks in advance.
