Take a look at your /etc/xen/xmdefaults config file. You're
asking the domain to get its ip address using the in-kernel DHCP
requester.

Either configure your network's DHCP server to respond to the new
domain's MAC address, or edit xmdefaults to configure an IP
address, netmask and gateway manually.

If you want it to take the config from whatever you have in dom0
and add 1 to the IP address, use the following:

#dhcp="dhcp"
ip = add_offset_to_ip(get_current_ipaddr(),vmid)
netmask = get_current_ipmask()
gateway = get_current_ipgw()
#hostname= "myvm%d" % vmid

If you want to use DHCP, either go with the generated MAC
address, or set your own with:

vif = [ 'mac=00:06:AA:F6:BB:B3' ]
dhcp="dhcp"
