RE: [Xen-users] Getting network working in HVM domU

["You, Yongkang" <yongkang.you@xxxxxxxxx>]

It sounds a little strange. Did you check Xen0 ifconfig, when creating HVM? There should be new device named tap0 or tun0 be created.

Which Changeset are you trying? From the config file, it might be an old version Xen? Which Linux is the Service OS (Xen0)?

Subject: [Xen-users] Getting network working in HVM domU

 

Hi all,

I now have Xen running on Intel Core2 duo system, and am running a HVM domU with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, cold-installed from distribution CD.

Problem is, Windows can't get to the network.

My dom0  ifconfig looks correct, as far as I can tell.  I have a DHCP server on my local network, but the Windows XP domU claims to be unable to find DHCP.  I've also tried assigning a static IP that matches my local subnet, but networking is still as dead as a dodo.  At the very end of this message, I've posted my dom0 kernel's .config file, just in case I used some wrong setting there.

Any help would be much appreciated.  I've never used linux bridging, and have no idea how to debug it.

Derek.
