Hi,
thx for your quick response.  Yes, after doing the 'xend start' ifconfig
shows that the eth0 and xen-br0 have the same inet address as well as
the same broadcast address.  the netmask is different (255.255.255.0 for
eth0 and 255.255.255.255 for xen-br0).

While trying to find out how to get rid of the address configuration for
eth0 I found out that a plain restart of eth0  (ifdown/ifup eth0) does
the trick for me.

This is quite confusing but I am able to repress that for a long
while ;)
