Hi please forgive this if it seems a dumb question but I am new to xen and
linux. I have Xen running in Centos and another Centos Partition DomU running.
But I cannot seem to get networking running between 0 and U.
All the doco appears to assume you know everything about networking bridging
and the like. Does anyone have a simple how to step by step on how to get a
single dom0 talking to a single DomU.
Below is the output from ifconfig from dom0

All I am looking for is a really simple explanation of what all the interfaces
do and how to get the doms talking to each other.
Thanks very much
