RE: [Xen-users] bridge-utils problem

Hi,

It seems that I didn't set bridging correctly.
I was trying to create DomU using the bridge. However, it failed.
I add something like "vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ]" to the DomU configuration file.
When I create the domain, it said 
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.
Error: Domain 'sample-xen-domain' does not exist.
I have checked other posts but didn't get the solutions.
Also, I don't know that why I don't have the interface vif0.0 and peth0.
I type ifconfig -a but none of them are listed.
Here is the output of "network-bridge status"
