Re: [Xen-users] Need help setting up guest's networking

[Yevgeniy Goldberg <thegoldberg@xxxxxxx>]

Nico,
Wouldn't vif name assigned by xeb based on the Domain id? (ie if the  
DomU is 5 then it will become vif5.0)
Alos,
I've misspoke when I said that I was setting the static IP for the  
guest's vif from the Dom0 - I was doing that inside the actual DomU.
Also, I have a win 2003 server guest on the same xen host and  
networking works just fine on that one.
Both configs are found in my initial post.
Let me know what you think and THANK YOU FOR TRYING TO HELP ME!
