Hi all

I finally found the way to solve my problem. I install my windows virtual
machine using the guide on

 http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/HowToXenWindowsOnCentOS5

The last time I did the installation using the "Virtual Machine Manager" but
now I do it using virt-install and when ping to other machines the time is
good.

Maybe a bug in VMM? I don't know but now with virt-install I can use without
problems my virtual machine.

Thanks a lot for all your help

Roberto

Sounds like you have a clock problem to me.

Have you tried disabling acpi in the VM definition?

There's also something called timer_mode, but good luck finding any
documentation about it (like a lot of other Xen stuff).
