Hello, I got Xen working on my machine using the packages that come with Fedora Core 4, but I got one problem: broadcast packages sent from Domain-0 will not reach the guest os. The rest seems to work perfectly. broadcast from guest reaches LAN. broadcast from LAN(but not Domain-0) reaches guest. Does anybody know how to get this working?

Can you check "ifconfig" if you have an IP Adress assigned to your eth device? the IP should be set only on the bridge and not on the eth0 device inside it, so the kernel has no way to choose the "wrong" interface to send out broadcasts. /Ernst _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Yes, after doing the ''xend start'' ifconfig shows that the eth0 and xen-br0 have the same inet address as well as the same broadcast address. the netmask is different (255.255.255.0 for eth0 and 255.255.255.255 for xen-br0). While trying to find out how to get rid of the address configuration for eth0 I found out that a plain restart of eth0 (ifdown/ifup eth0) does the trick for me. This is quite confusing but I am able to repress that for a long while ;) Thorsten.> > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
