I take it that you have confirmed (with "brctl show" and "ifconfig -a")
that the vif and tap devices are being added to the bridge? Can you post
the output of those two commands while things are running please.

The other options are firewall rules and sysctl things to do with
forwarding and arps etc. Posting the output of the iptables and sysctl
commands might set of a light bulb for someone. Likewise the route
command (in all cases I mean with whatever option shows all the current
settings...)

How are the guests getting their IP address? DHCP? Where is the DHCP
server? If static then are you sure all the netmasks and subnets etc are
correct?

Have you checked the in-guest network settings, like gateway and name
server? How do they compare to the working KVM guest? Have you also
compared all of the host settings (brctl, ifconfig, iptables, sysctl,
etc) in the two configurations?

Are you using Xen4CentOS or some other Xen packages or perhaps building
from source? Have you asked on any CentOS lists (they have a virt one I
think) -- there may be folks there who are aware of some quirk.

Ian.
