Re: [Xen-users] Need help with networking in DomU's

[Datto <datto@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Eric. You were right -- there seemed to be a problem with the FC4 
install scripts I was using. However, I was able to get it all to work with 
CentOS 4.2, the Xensource tarball and enough reading to comfort me through 
three arctic winters.

How did you install Xen?

If you used the install script for FC4 off the xensource website, then you may 
want to think about grabbing the source and compiling it yourself.  I tried 
this first and after a lot of stability problems and network issues with my 
domU domains I gave up and compiled Xen myself.

I'm now running Xen3 compiled from the testing source code and everything is 
working very well right out of the box.

Additional info:
ifconfig inside the DomU comes up looking like this below initially after DomU 
startup: 

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:16:3E:6E:57:3E
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) 

If I give it an ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.215 netmask 255.255.255.0 followed by an 
ifconfig eth0 up it'll take the information and a new ifconfig afterward will 
show the new IP and netmask but it still doesn't get me out through the bridge 
and to the network and the Internet.

Any help appreciated.
