Chris,

Both interfaces on dom0 are now connected (pingable from other hosts on
their respective network). Logged in the the domU (while started with
one bridge) and configured the /etc/network/interface file within domU
same way for both interface ...

Still the two bridge config doesn't work...

While watching the process I noticed that peth0 is created also vifID.0
and vifID.1 is created (watching ifconfig -a) but when I got the error
message they are all taken down ... wondering where is th issue on dom0
or domU ???
