Sounds like the problem I have been experiencing.

If you examine your packet capture carefully on the failed connections, you will probably see some transport layer checksum errors (tcp/udp.)

If you want a routed setup, a workaround is to build gre tunnels over the top of the Dom0 vifX.0 <-> guest eth0 links.

The new style bridged setup works, with the apparent limitation that Dom0 can now only be attached to one bridge group.

If I remember correctly, vif0.0 should be bridged with vifX.0. veth0 should be assigned an appropriate address for your network.
Dom0 veth0 is the equivalent of eth0 in a guest, vif0.0 being the matching end of the virtual link.

Outside network access should work if you bridge eth0 in the same bridge group. Have fun if you want to run a firewall...
