Arnd, thanks for your response. My network configuration appears to be
OK; it is simple, one NIC and its IP address, and everything seems to be
working well. Also, there are no two machines with the same address. So,
I am wondering if this is a problem with Xen. I have opened up a
bugzilla report, as I would like to have a definitive answer as to
whether this is a bug or a network configuration issue.
