I never had a problem like that, but the first thing I did after installing
xen was ditching the network setup scripts that came with it.
Maybe you could post the output of ifconfig -a, route, etc so we actually have
a chance to trace your problem?

xen doesn't do much network-wise, it basically relies on standard linux
features for almost all of it, except the virtual network frontend/backends.
So the best place to start looking for in-depth documentation would be the
kernel documentation.
Look into /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/bridge.txt for bridging,
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/alias.txt for ip-aliases
Starting point for vlan:

for filering network traffic on a bridge, have a look at:
