Thread-topic: Network-problems with multiple(16) virtual machines
Hello list,

I am doing my first tests with xen-3.3.0 on gentoo and am now running
against an unprotocolled limit?

I start 16 exactly equal domains. Each receives an IP via dhcp. Now i
can ping dom0 (192.168.10.10) from every domU (192.168.10.100 - 115,
names are "xen-gentoo-default10..25").

The curious thing is now, that the domains 17 and 20-25 are not able to
reach the outer world? Nor there are log-entries concerning this?

I tried this again for aprovement with an "ping www.yahoo.de" just to
see that dns works. And as told before, all domU are working except
theese seven ones?

Via google i found the hint for changing "nloopbacks", but this didn't
help either?

As you can see in dmesg, i added the options (all modules are builtin).
In ifconfig, there are 16 vifs' listed.

Anybody can help? Downwards i added dmesg, ifconfig and grub-config..

Kind regards, Florian
