Xen users - Sep 2009 - Cannot ping newly created XEN client running SLES10

hi!

I''m running multiple clients on a SLES10 server.
These clients can be accessed in local network with ping.

When I create a new client with existing disk-files (copy of a running guest), I
can start/boot the guest system.
However, I cannot ping the guest.

Is this related to an issue with the network bridge?
How can I resolve it?

Please note:
Displaying the network details (tab Hardware - Network), it shows
"bridge" in column Type, 
"-" in column Source,
"etho" in column Device


THX

Is this dom0, domU or both?

Do you see the interface at all using "ifconfig -a" on domU?
Any RX/TX activity?
Any traffic when starting tcpdump on it?

Did you also copy the configuration file? If yes, did you modify the mac 
address?

This would be one of the last things to check if the previous tests 
above indicate a working interface.

I think this more likely related to either the config file (mac address 
collision) or udev in domU (if you copied the domU image udev will still 
reserve eth0 for the previous interface, identified by mac address)

This is very Suse specific, please try to give more general information 
(ifconfig, brctl) and always mention if the information comes from dom0 
or domU.
