Xen users - Mar 2007 - networking setup

Hi,

I have a computer with only one (working) network interface: eth0
It''s running Debian Sid.
I want setup a bridge on it, in order to connect domUs to the net.

The departure is a working/up eth0.
Then I add the bridge
	$BRCTL addbr $BRNAME

Then I put some commands I found on some tutorials:
	$BRCTL stp $BRNAME off
	$BRCTL sethello $BRNAME 0
	$BRCTL setfd $BRNAME 0

Then
	ifconfig $BRNAME $IP netmask 255.255.255.0 up
where $IP is the IP address of the working eth0.

Then 
	$BRCTL addif $BRNAME eth0
	route add default gw $MY_GW dev $BRNAME

So:
The "eth0" has not been set down. Is it wrong?
If I set it down, the "addif" does not make it listed by
"ifconfig".
But "ifconfig eth0" shows eth0 (I must explicitely mention eth0... I
dont know
why)
No domU is created yet.
With this configuration, I can ping external machines (google, yahoo,...)
But not my LAN computers. The LAN is 192.68.2.0/24.
Although I put an explicite route (-host option), I cant reach my LAN.

I am quite surprised outside network is reached but not LAN. I dont see what 
did I forgot. Would you help me?

Thank you.

When I think deeper, that case is the simplest it could be (single NIC named 
eth0...)
I did not event try to setup bridge with the xen embeded scripts.
I think they could be the trick.
