Hi,
  I'm trying to setup xen and have figured out most of my issues. However I'm 
stuck with a networking issue.

From my dom0 I can ping the world and my domU. However I cannot ping anything 
except the dom0 from inside my domU.

dom0 is a clean opensuse 11.4 with XEN 4.1.1 added to it (using the default 
kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5-xen).

domU is ubuntu server 8.04 with all recent updates (and using the kernel 
above).

I've manually setup the xen cfg for my domU (xen-create-tool was not available 
on SuSE and I could not seem to get virt-manager to do what I wanted - or made 
sence of it :( ).

After starting up domU the dom0 config looks like :
# ifconfig

(vif-script vif-bridge)
(dom0-min-mem 512)
(enable-dom0-ballooning yes)

The dom0 has no iptables rules active.

Finally the domU looks like :

#ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:16:.....  
          inet addr:x.y.z.125  Bcast:x.y.z.127  Mask:255.255.255.224

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:3644 (3.5 KB)  TX bytes:5975 (5.8 KB)

Thanks for any pointers or insights you may have.
