RE: [Xen-users] windows XP Guest network doesn't work

["David Morris" <david.morris@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the followup ... the domUs were initially created using virt-manager 
which gave me workable config files for this Xen version. I then tweaked the 
files as needed and use xm to manipulate the VMs.

It appears the Xen is emulating a RealTek ethernet adapter, so I downloaded the 
latest drivers for the 8139 device and created an iso which you will note as 
the current CD. Unfortunately, windows couldn't correlate any of the devices in 
the cd image with its view of the adapter. I forced the install and the adapter 
didn't come up. I reverted the driver.

                    and the current route table.
