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

["Bogdan Lipski @ Onet" <bogdan_lipski@xxxxxxx>]

 

Hi,

 

that is pretty easy - meaning that it took me only 30mins spent on tearing my hair out - comparing to other problems with xen this is nothing :-)

 

solution:

if you look at /var/log/qemu-dm.XXXX.log, then you will probably see sth like that:

"warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation"

 

so now, either you are recompiling the xen kernel, or just:

 

# modprobe tun

 

enjoy! and i hope it spares some time for the others ;-)

 

 

Rgds,

Bogdan
