I followed a couple of the threads on here but cannot get anything to work. I have tried all three versions of xen, with their corresponding tools. I'm trying the most basic bridge setup with one nic on dom0 and one virtual per domU. Even tried setting up the bridge manually with and commenting out (network-script network-bridge): config_eth0=( "null" ) RC_NEED_br0="net.eth0" bridge_br0="eth0" config_br0=( "192.168.138.34/20" ) brctl_br0=( "setfd 0" "sethello 0" "stp off" ) routes_br0=( "default via 192.168.128.1" ) tcpdump on eth0 in a domU shows a bunch of arp requests but no replies.
