Xen users - Apr 2007 - hopping LAN-IF on Windows Server 2003 DomU

Hi all,

my Dom0: Debian Unstables with 2.6.16.33 - Xen 3.0.4 
my DomU: HVM Windows Server 2003

I have 3 different LAN interfaces in my DomU. If I configure them i can
successfully ping into the different networks. My domain-config for
these 3 LAN-IF looks like this:

	vif = [ ''type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:62:b3:ae, bridge=xenbr1'', \
        	''type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:3d:69:67, bridge=xenbr2'', \
        	''type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:53:64:67, bridge=xenbr3'' ]

My problem is: If i reboot DomU the interfaces inside windows get mixed
every time. As far as i investigated into this problem, it''s because
xend always assignes them in a different order to the bridges (and not
in order of config file) and windows identifies it''s interfaces in the
order in which they got created/recognized.

Does anyone knows how to get xend to create the interfaces in a special
order, or is there a way to fix this within windows?
Any other solution is welcome!

If you need any logs - tell me.

Thanx in advance,
Jan

That''s fixed in 3.0.4-1 (changeset 13137 in 3.0.4 tree). The fix itself
is relatively small, so you should be able to apply it to the
source-code yourself (and it''s independent of other fixes in 3.0.4, so
it should apply to your existing source-code without too much fuzz).
