I think he's having problems with Dom0 changing Mac address, rather than the 
domU (is that right?)

Does the original machine have more than one ethernet device?  Perhaps Linux 
is enumerating the cards in a different order when running under Xen so 
you're not using the card you think you are?

Cheers,
Mark
