Re: [Xen-users] Network problem with HVM Windows

Hi!

I've setup a HVM domain running Windows[tm] Server 2003.
The installation was no problem and when connecting from Dom0 to the
Windows machine via rdesktop everything is fine.

The problems show up when connecting from others host of the network
to the Windows server or from the Windows server to the internet.
Most times the connection failed totally, sometimes it's boring slow.

When trying to open any website on the Windows machine while sniffing
on the bridge or real ethernet interface, I can see packets going out,
but no answers coming in.

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/boot/hvmloader"

name = "win_2k3"

vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:de:fa:ce:d0:23, bridge=br1' ]

disk = [ "phy:/dev/vg_shsserver2/lv_win2k3,hda,w",

Max hello,

I wonder if you ever found out an answer to this problem? I'm seeing pretty much an identical situation, with windows 2003 SP2 64bit. Everything appears fine until an attempt to upload is made to the IIS server running in windows, then poof, no network any more.

Problem is near the networking drivers, either in windows or in the HVM xen, I'm unsure which? I've attempted to load the GPLPV drivers however these are refusing to install but not yet looked to debug why they refuse.
 

I have pae=1, acpi=1, apic=1, vcpus=4 otherwise our xen config files are very similar. This is under OracleVM (3.1.1) on AMD64.
