Re: [Xen-users] Xen w/ IntelVT->Windows Success Report

["Sachiko Yoshihama" <sachiko.yoshihama@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

I just want to correct my previous message because I figured out
why hostname could not be resolved on dom0.
It was because iptables was blocking DNS queries.

# iptables --flush
solved all my networking problems, and now I can browse the web
from my guest WinXP.

Hope somebody will find this helpful ;-)
