Dear Rafał,

Thanks for your reply and useful suggestions.

This is with one domU running; domU does have network access; dom0 does
not.  It is possible to connect to the domU via ssh and then connect to
the dom0 from the domU via ssh.

00:1a:64:8c:be:aa is the MAC address of the physical eth0 interface
02:00:00:00:00:01 is the MAC address I have assigned to the domU
according to the rules in
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking:

"In summary, an address of the following form should be OK: 

XY:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

where X is any hexadecimal digit, and Y is one of 2, 6, A or E."

I will also try your suggestion of configuring the bridge via Debian's
interfaces file and using network-dummy as the Xen networking script.
