Hello, I have been testing xen for a few days now, and things seem to be working almost fine. However, I am having seriously annoying problems with my networking setup. On both dom0 and any domU I don’t seem to be able to resolve hostnames. I know it is definitely caused by xen and not some other networking related issue as if I disable xend on bootup, nslookup resolutions and pings to hosts lookup fine. I can ping to ip addresses fine both locally and on the internet fine, just not resolve hostnames. My ifconfig output on dom0 gives the following: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:18:B5:96:2E inet addr:192.168.1.50 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:18ff:feb5:962e/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:13 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1084 (1.0 KiB) TX bytes:1118 (1.0 KiB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:560 (560.0 b) TX bytes:560 (560.0 b) peth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:133 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:135 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:18299 (17.8 KiB) TX bytes:14960 (14.6 KiB) Interrupt:18 vif0.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1118 (1.0 KiB) TX bytes:1470 (1.4 KiB) xenbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:524 (524.0 b) TX bytes:468 (468.0 b) And if I enable virtual domains vif1.0 enables fine. I also have the bridge setup correctly I believe through: bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces xenbr0 8000.feffffffffff no peth0 vif0.0 iptables is running with the following: Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp any ACCEPT ipv6-crypt-- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT ipv6-auth-- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT udp -- anywhere 224.0.0.251 udp dpt:5353 ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:ipp ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited As I say, pings are fine, just network name resolutions. I have tried using ethtool to do the following: ethtool -K peth0 tx off as suggested by one other member on the mailing list but this didn''t work either. I am at the end of the line in terms of ideas - it seems such a frustratingly annoying problem and I believe I am so close! Any help very much appreciated!

Maybe I haven''t looked hard enough, but is your dom0 allowing port 53 to get through in your iptables rules? Have you tried turning off iptables on dom0 and seeing if that works?

Hi Nick, This looks very like the the issue I''m having are you using CentOS 4.3 with a source compile of xen 3.0.2-2? Cheers, Julius.
