I try these, its right, or missing something?

No - that's not right.

Apologies, but I missed that you had 193.34.X.88 and 93.209.x.104 - two entirely different subnets. 193.34.X.1 is not a valid gateway for 93.209.x.104, so that machine would have no connectivity.

BTW - this isn't specific to XEN, it's a general networking/IP addressing issue.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what you are being provided with in terms of IP addresses. Is 193.34.X.88 the only address you have in the 193.34.X.0/25 subnet ? Did your ISP give you a gateway address to use in the 93.209.x.104/25 subnet ?


My **guess** is that 193.34.X.88 is your "outside" address, and that your ISP routes the 93.209.x.0/25 addresses to it. If that is case, you need a router between 193.34.X.88 and 93.209.x.0/25. My preference is to use a separate DomU for a two port firewall (see the thread titled "Question about using Xen in a periphery firewall/router" from last week). Alternatively you'll want to run your Som0 in routed mode with 193.34.X.88 as your outside address, and something in 93.209.x.0/25 for your inside address.
