Did you restart the dom0?

Do you have xenbr0 and xenbr2 bridge?

The message should be clear. Is xend running? Is it listening on port
8000 (try "netstat -anp")?

Duh :P

That's part of the reason why I asked "did you restart the dom0".
"service network restart" does not necessarily do what you think it
should do (for example, it determines what interface to take up/down
based on config file, not what interface is actually up).

I simply modify Xen config file (/etc/xen/*) to use the bridge I
created (on vif line).
