Hmmm, the bridge does not bridge ... check this:

(1) "/usr/sbin/brctl show" should look like this:

      bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
      mybr0           8000.000c7616d891       no              vif1.0
                                                              vif2.0
                                                              vif3.0

    and so on, this means that the virtual interfaces vif* belong to
    the bridge "mybr0"

(2) "/sbin/iptables -nL ; /sbin/iptables -t nat -nL" should be empty
    (just for testing) with policies "ACCEPT"

(3) The domUs use different MACs

If all is true and the domUs still cannot ping each other, ping all
domUs from dom0 and send me the resulting arptable:

    for i in 2 3 4 ; do ping -c 1 192.168.1.$i ; done ; /sbin/arp -n

and the output of "/sbin/ip addr show up"

/nils.
