[Xen-users] how to setup domU network?

["Mihamina Rakotomandimby (R12y)" <mihamina.rakotomandimby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am quite new to Xen, but a bit used with Linux in general.
I just wonder how to setup domU network. I use the Xen embeded in
opensuse 10.2.

My real network, without any Xen consideration is about one desktop and
one laptop, behind a modem-router that NATs too. 
The modem-router-NATer offers LAN IP address via DHCP.

I acces internet through the eth1 but I have an unused eth0. Therefore,
I specified eth1 as 'network-brige net-dev' in  xend-config.sxp.

I only consider full virtualization (running non-modified OS), I have
the VT CPU to so so.

I first tried to install a Debian netinst. The "problem" is the debian
installer first look at a DHCP offer. It fails. Then, I guess I have to
make it static address: but what kind of IP address? I dont know what's
the default IP range, or where is it set up.
OTOH, what should be the gateway address? the modem-router-NATer one's?

Finally, should I or not use:

        # (network-script network-nat)
        # (vif-script     vif-nat)

Given my working interface is eth1, should I apply any netdev=eth1 in
there? For the moment, they're all commented out.

Thank you for your help.
