Hi all
Really silly question here: do the vif interfaces require IP addresses?
I''m totally stuck with getting IP traffic to my guest domain, layer 2
traffic (ie ARP queries/responces, broadcasts, etc) is all OK. Another
question, what is peth0 used for?
Thanks again

You don''t need to bother with the vif interfaces. Just configure your eth0 inside the guest domain with a valid network setting and packets should get to your network interface.

In this case I''ve configured eth0 (in domU) with an IP in the same VLAN/subnet as dom0. I''ve tried using x.x.x.254 as the gateway and alternatively x.x.x.114 (dom0) as the gateway but neither works for normal IP traffic. I say ''normal'' IP traffic as broadcast traffic is seen by domU.
