[Xen-users] no networking support with Windows XP / 2003 HVM domain
Hi, I''m not sure why this doesn''t work, Linux domU work through the dom0 bridge. Windows does recognize the pcnet adapter, but just isn''t able to get send/receive packets. When checking with ifconfig, it seems all packets gets dropped (no rx/tx packets are transmitted, just some dropped ones). I don''t think I''ve to bother with iptables or other bridging support, since the Linux domU just work fine. I''ve read some success stories with Windows on Xen, thus it isn''t impossible. Do I need to specify some special config vars? Thanks! - Joost _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

The solution was to make sure that the ''tun'' module is loaded (or compiled into the kernel).

Faster than VMware Server as far as I can tell, looks very promising.. - Joost _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

On a 100mbit link I can''t get more than 4.5MB/s and the CPU is being _very_ busy at that moment. Isn''t there any trick to improve performance, my guess it''s the tun/tap driver which causes major overhead. Other than that, it seems that Xen beats Vmware (at least the beta server version) which is very surprising. Can''t yet say anything something about the stability, maybe the networking driver will freak out after a period of intensive load.. I''d like to hear some tips to improve the networking performance, maybe a module parameter for tun? - Joost _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
