I'm just getting started with Xen and am having some trouble getting networking up and running in domU. The symptoms are that packets can leave domU and go through xen-br0, but packets are not getting back into domU. Specifically, this is what I'm seeing when sending a ping from within domU:

Note: domU is 192.168.0.12
Note: dom0 is 192.168.0.11

[root@domU ~]# tcpdump -i eth0
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
19:48:48.173992 arp who-has 192.168.0.11 tell 192.168.0.12
19:48:49.173981 arp who-has 192.168.0.11 tell 192.168.0.12
19:48:50.173981 arp who-has 192.168.0.11 tell 192.168.0.12
19:48:52.183980 arp who-has 192.168.0.11 tell 192.168.0.12
19:48:53.183991 arp who-has 192.168.0.11 tell 192.168.0.12

Watching this ping from dom0 shows a different story:

[root@dom0 ~]# tcpdump -i vif1.1
tcpdump: WARNING: vif1.1: no IPv4 address assigned
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on vif1.1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
19:50:41.780777 arp who-has 192.168.0.11 tell 192.168.0.12

19:50:44.900677 arp who-has 192.168.0.11 tell 192.168.0.12
19:50:44.900705 arp reply 192.168.0.11 is-at 00:a0:c9:e3:75:5e
19:50:46.910656 arp who-has 192.168.0.11 tell 192.168.0.12
19:50:46.910685 arp reply 192.168.0.11 is-at 00:a0:c9:e3:75:5e

It looks like domU is sending out the arp request, but never getting the arp reply. However, clearly the arp reply is being sent by dom0...it seems to be getting lost somewhere in the connection between vif1.1 and the domU/eth0. I'm including some additional configuration information about my setup below. If additional information would be helpful, just let me know.

Does anyone have thoughts about how to solve this?

Thanks,
bryan
