OK,I add CC this time.Sorry for the mistake made last time.
I don't make any changes actually.But I remember when this situation began.It was at the time I create a virtual machine by "virt-install" command,after I rebooted the system the next day,the domain0 cannot go to google.So now I was wandering whether this method of creating causes the network problem.And this is the third time this problem happen.
I remember last time I came across the same problem,but I didn't pay any attention to it.After I reinstall my OS,the problem is fixed.
The reason why  I sent an email to the list is that I want to make this problem out in my summer holiday.If it is a bug,I want to make the developers known.
Thank you very much for your reply and also thank you for this short passage about how the net in virtual machine works,it really teaches me a lot.At last, thank you again for your sharing of time on my problem.
Is it really a bug or not?How can this possible?I bet the solution lies on the changing from eth0 to peth0 with a real MAC,But I don't know where to change or modify.Hope for your further help.
Rgds.
Samuel.

Please don't drop the CC to xen-users list.

when xend is started, with the default configuration (in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp),
it'll execute /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge to re-configure your networking.

It'll rename the physical eth0 interface to peth0, change it's MAC address
to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, and then create a virtual ethernet interface called
eth0, configure it with the real MAC address, and bridge both of those
interfaces to xenbr0 bridge.

This way the virtual eth0 interface should have a real MAC, and it can be
used for dom0 management, and at the same time allow other VMs/domUs to
share the physical ethernet interface by using xenbr0 bridge.

I don't know why that doesn't work for you.. Have you changed/tweaked your
network settings somehow?

When you start the machine with normal (non -xen) kernel, xend does not
start and network reconfiguration won't happen.
