You could do "xm console DOMAIN" for the DOMAIN, and log in.

If it's using DHCP, or has a previous and successfully installed network 
setup, you can scan the available address space or send broadcast 
packets to the relevant subnet and look for what MAC address matches it 
in your arp tables.

Your Xen guest domain is resetting it with DHCP. I think you can't 
override that from Xen, you need to get into the client to reset this 
behavior.
But if you're using DHCP, why not set your Xen guest domain to have a 
static MAC address, and hardcode the DHCP results for it?
