Martian Source Messages - Guest OS

Hi All,

I have deployed OVF ( CentOS VM image) on ESXi 4.1 server host but found the following martian source messages on CentOS guest OS console after booting completed.

Following messeges keep flooding on VM console and log files also:

..

Martian source 255.255.255.255 from <ip 1>, on dev eth0 II header ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:1b:42:33:0a:08:00

Martian source 255.255.255.255 from <ip 2>, on dev eth0 ll header ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:2b:35:43:0c:08:00

..

Additional info:

While booting up VM, found the following failed message on eth0.

               Determining IP information for eth0 ..... failed.

Appreciate for your help.
