xen discuss - Feb 2010 - with gplpv 210 for win7x64 on xvm b130 obtaining ip via dhcp fails

I have successfully installed the gplpv drivers (210 vista x64) on my
win7 test guest, all is fine except that I now have to manually set the
ip address, because dhcp fails to get an ip.

Yes it works fine when I manually set an ip.
And your suspicions are in the same way with my thoughts.

I have to find some approach for easy package monitoring.

Maybe there isan ips package for wireshark?

Ok, I have had a look today and indeed wireshark doesn''t see any
broadcasts with this mac on the bridge interface (e1000g0), when setting
guest to dhcp, so the requests are lost on there way to the bridge.

If I got it right, you would like to know if the guest sees dhcp
broadcasts from others when it is manually configured, therefore I would
need to install wireshark on it, I''ll do so during the next days...

Then I would also be able to check what the guest itself is sending, in
theory there should the dhcp broadcasts of this client are visible.
Those of others maybe not?
