[Xen-users] can't get network access from windows hvm

[Nawal Husnoo <galileon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I have been able to get windows xp to run under a virtual machine, but i 
cannot get any network access.
My desktop is connected to a university network, and we are only given 1 
ip address. so i understand i have to use routing instead of bridging, 
right?
i have commented the two lines for bridge and enabled routing in  
/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
next i inserted a line:

vif    = [ 'ip=192.168.0.2,type=ioemu' ]


into my /etc/xen/vm/woesxp file,

next i started the vm, and set the network settings in windows to be
ip: 192.168.0.2
mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1


the problem is I cannot ping each other, ie both from linux and from 
windows, I get something like host unreachable.
I have tried reading up about the networking in xen, and also tried 
googling xen routing, but i see the bridging technique is the one mostly 
discussed.
is there a way of solving my problem using bridging then? what i need is 
to ping each other (so that I can setup a samba share to share files, 
and also to rdesktop into the windows) and for the windows vm to access 
the internet
does anyone know of a good link that could help me, or any advice about 
which way i should go?
cheers,

galileon.
