Xen users - Apr 2007 - Physical Network Card MAC Adress will always change to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF

Hello Xen-Users,

I''ve installed the new Version 3.0.4-1 of XEN and I''ve
stressed my
Dedicated Server provider a lot, because
after I had installed the XEN-Domain and it got running and I have to 
restart the server due to any reason
the Physical MAC Adress was always FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and this was 
blocked through the Layer 2 switch on the provider side.
Nevertheless this Adress should be always the same, after several resets 
of the address to the original one through the Dedicated Service
Provider, I got the Information from their side to check the XEN 
configuration, because this is an misconfiguration of XEN.

What can I do, or better what is to check ?
And how I have to configure what and where. I''ve currently the plain 
setup after compilation of the XEN-Kernel.
It is also a fresh system.

Many Thanks.
Regards
Maik Brauer

Do you mean peth0?

You don''t use the physical NIC (eg peth0)  to connect to anywhere
outside
The matching virtual interface should get it''s mac, and the
guest''s
virtual nics get configured or automatically created MACs.

Please read docs and wiki about Xen networking. (and come back with
questions if still unclear).
