Re: [Xen-bugs] Re: [Xen-users] Network problem after updates

[Francisco Barrera <francisco.barrera@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Konrad,

unfortunatelly I still have problems... the sames problems with the network domU Firewall.

Then you propose me to update the dom0 kernel from 2.6.18-164.el5xen to the latest version, isn't it?
And update the pv-ops also?

It's necessary update the domU kernel?

Thanks very much!!
