I didn't modify any iptables. The server is under a firewall and there's no 
blocking packets.

ok, I found some interested result.

I have configured eth1 in dom0. So, I have assigned an IP and I have ifup the 
interface. I have configured the interface in domU. I have had some little 
trouble because if I put the mac address the then I got a duplicate mac 
address, so I solved it with just only:

vif = ['bridge=eth1']

Then I have rebooted domU and the network have been working. So, I have 
stopped the domU and then I have de-configured eth1 (ifdown the interface ) 
and then the network have stopped.

So, I guest that the problem is that, there's have been some changes in xen 
sources and I _must_ have the interface that acts as a bridge up, whenever 
the IP uses, if not, the bridge doesn't work.

Could you confirm this?

I would prefer that no. It's better, IMHO as debian user, to follow the kernel 
versions of the stable series.

PS OTOH, I think that some people (as me) are suffering crashes from xen [1] , 
but this is another history.
