[Xen-users] VM nic not taking IP address

[Alan Murrell <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a DomU as a firewall (using the Dom0 kernel).  I hid the three
nics from Dom0 and assigned them to the firewall VM.  The firewall VM
sees the three nics no problem.  Eth0 comes up and grabs an IP
automatically from my DHCP server, however eth1 and eth2 are configured
with static IPs but they do not come up with an IP:

Here is my 'ifconfig':

[root@fw01 ~]# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:18:E1:A0:68
          inet addr:192.168.10.252  Bcast:192.168.10.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:928 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:529 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:99207 (96.8 KiB)  TX bytes:104766 (102.3 KiB)
          Interrupt:20

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:D1:1C:0E:67
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:23 Base address:0xc800

eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:D1:1C:0E:68
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:23 Base address:0xc400


I have also tried setting my eth1 and eth2 to DHCP and plugging each one
into my network, but they will not pick up an IP address from my DHCP
server.

When these cards are unhidden from Dom0, they work no problem (IPs show
up on them, can get IP address from DHCP server, etc.)

I am not sure what the problem may be, and would appreciate any
suggestions on where else to check?

TIA.
