Re: [Xen-users] Need help setting up guest's networking

Nico,
Wouldn't vif name assigned by xeb based on the Domain id? (ie if the DomU is 5 then it will become vif5.0)
Alos,
I've misspoke when I said that I was setting the static IP for the guest's vif from the Dom0 - I was doing that inside the actual DomU. Also, I have a win 2003 server guest on the same xen host and networking works just fine on that one.
Both configs are found in my initial post.
Let me know what you think and THANK YOU FOR TRYING TO HELP ME!

-Eugene

Nico,
I did have my firewall turned off.
What would be an example of hard-coding a vif name?
Also, I've discovered that I could manually assign an IP address to a vif interface in Dom0. This way I could network between the Dom0 and DomU, but could not establish an Internet connection from the DomU. My attempt to set the network interface of DomU to dhcp did not work either.
The vifnames are set in the "vif=" configuration statement. So

   vif = [ 'mac=MACADDRESS, bridge=xenbr0' ]

would become

   vif = [ 'vifname=xen0.01,mac=MACADDRESS, bridge=xenbr0' ]

Setting the IP address of a network port is not the right job for Xen itself: it's the right job for the guest domain, which has all the network configuration tools built in normally, and itself needs to know the netmask and gateway address.
