Hi list.

I started with Xen yesterday, but I am facing a bit of a problem.
My system had always configure eth0 with 10.0.0.4/8

I am using Xen unstable source (on Debian sid)

Now I installed Xen, rebooted the machine, and first the usual network is
coming up and then the xend will be started.

I'll end up with this, but I am wondering if this should be the way of
things to be configured:

megalosaurus:~# ifconfig -a

After the system boots and the network and xend is started, nothing works,
with this configuration.

Actually, it works now after restarting the network
(/etc/init.d/networking) and after restarting xend (sometimes a couple of
times though)

I can't find anywhere in the docs if eth0 should be configured like this.
Sometimes I am experiencing lots of lag, as if these IP's are conflicting with
each other.

The whole networking thing seems not to be configured right.

for completeness:
