The fact that your wi-fi network requires actual authentication instead of plain encryption may also be interfering, many networks that are configured like that also are picky about stuff like MAC addresses.Not sure if you tried, but I've always had to enable "proxy arp" on the wireless interface (and the bridge possibly) to get routers to accept packets from the guest. I won't go into detail since there is plenty of information out there on the topic, but basically its a simple sysctl parameter, and you may need to tweak your firewall to allow MAC addresses to be proxied. Note that your bridge (or the host-side of the virtual adapter) must be assigned an IP in the same subnet as the host's LAN address. After that it should "just work" like a normal ethernet bridge. If memory serves, no special guest-side configuration is necessary. No idea how PEAP might interfere though. YMMV. If you still can't get it to work I'll try to dig up some notes I took when I set it up (this was on Arch). I don't have much advice beyond that I can give about bridging, but I can say the manually configured NAT routing that I use works perfectly. Of course, in my case I don't need (and in fact, don't want) external devices to have access to my VM's unless I specifically allow it, which means I only need 3 rules for the basic routing, and 1 for each interface I wish to use for outgoing traffic. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-users
