Hi I reached the conclusion that my networking problem stems from the fact that I have no peth0 device. I''m trying to locate what creates the device, but until now no success. So I have a simple question: What creates the peth0 device in dom0?

The setup is a non-trivial process, but the docs are there. Usually the script can be sufficiently configured with the parameters it gets from the file /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp .

Hi Christian What might be cause Xen not to create the device? I also tried to look for the string peth in /etc/xen (and sub folders) and /usr/lib/python/xen and the string doesn''t exist.

May be using routing instead of bridging is anoption in your case? Or try out a distribution that installs xen completely itself like Fedora Core 5.

Hi Christian For some reason I received this email only now ... Anyhow to the subject. I''m not missing bridging tools. I didn''t change Xen''s scripts and config files at all, and if I understand right bridging is the default setup in Xen. The only I did tinker with was the kernel. I don''t know why but it wasn''t only peth that wasn''t created. In the domU that I started I saw all the network interfaces of dom0 as if the domU was running as dom0 (I didn''t know it meant problems back then). To make a long story short: I ended up downgrading to 3.0.1 and everything has been great since. I also tinkered with the kernels in 3.0.1 to have the same exact configuration as the kernels in 3.0.2 so the problem wasn''t caused by the kernel tinkering.
