RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] Xen/IPF Windows guest configured with E1000VIF failed to ping host

["Mu, Qin" <qin.mu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Alex

These two problems indeed don't exist in Windows Server 2008 guest configured 
with E1000 NIC, but still live in Windows Server 2003 guest domain even if 
based on the latest Xen and Open GFW.

Hi Amy,

   I typically use the e1000 with a Windows Server 2008 domain, using
the drivers shipped with the OS.  I don't have any problems with the MAC
or pinging the dom0 host or other local guests with this combination.  I
haven't done much testing using Server 2003 though.  Thanks,

        Alex
