| Hi Tim, The guest that has network issues is suppose to use dhcp and that is the part that is not working. When I run ifconfig -a on the xen host OS (Dom0) I get the following:

Let me know what you think.

Its logical to assign vifnames that correspond to the domname + device as seen within the dom-u.
If my dom-u was named foo, and the device was to become eth0 in foo, I would name the vif foo.0 , eth1 in foo would be foo.1 , eth2 would be foo.2 (for a max of three vif's per guest).
This lets me do all of my bandwidth accounting just reading /proc/net/dev directly with grawk
I try to avoid snmp or anything else that malloc()s way more than it needs on dom-0 for obvious reasons :)
Alos, I've misspoke when I said that I was setting the static IP for the guest's vif from the Dom0 - I was doing that inside the actual DomU. Also, I have a win 2003 server guest on the same xen host and networking works just fine on that one. Both configs are found in my initial post. Let me know what you think and THANK YOU FOR TRYING TO HELP ME!
Are the guests using the same subnet (netmask) as the the bridge serving them? In other words, the IP address of your guest not working ends in a number equal or lesser than the broadcast address of the bridge?
Best, --Tim
