Hey

I've just installed a Debian Lenny AMD64 machine with xen 3.2-1.
The box is up to date.
The domU's are also Debian Lenny AMD64.

The dom0 has a working internet connection, but none of my domU's have an outside connection. The domU's can ping each other without a problem, but they can't ping to the dom0 or the outside network. The connection is set up as a bridge with the default XEN scripts (network-bridge and vif-bridge).

In my dom0 I see a lot of dropped packets on peth0.:
peth0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:24:21:ef:31:4d
        inet6 addr: fe80::224:21ff:feef:314d/64 Scope:Link

        Interrupt:16 Base address:0x8000


Things I've tried:
ping from dom0 to domU
# ping 188.40.120.xxx
PING 188.40.120.xxx (188.40.120.xxx) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 188.40.120.xxx ping statistics ---
67 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 66000ms

arp -a doesn't know the domU

Ping on domU to dom0

PING 188.40.120.yyy (188.40.120.yyy) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C

14 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 13013ms

on the same time a tcpdump on dom0:
# tcpdump -lfni vif2.0

No replies pass here but:

I'm really hoping someone can give me a hand with this problem :-)

Thanks in advance!
