Hi, I''ve been googling around for several days now, but with no luck. I''m hoping someone here might be able to help me out... I''ve installed and run Xen 3.0.4 (I need this specific version) with no problem, and the guests run smoothly; the only problem is that I have never been able to get the guests to ping the host (Dom0), or vice versa. I cannot access the internet from the guests, but it works fine on Dom0. I have only one NIC on Dom0 (eth0) that connects to the internet. Right now I''m just trying to get the guests and Dom0 to recognize each other, let alone guests'' internet access. I''ve tried network-bridge, network-nat, network-route, and even some custom scripts such as network-private (http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-09/msg00925.html) and network-virtual (http://en.opensuse.org/Xen3_and_a_Virtual_Network), with no success. I''ve tried all I could, but here''s one thing I believe is the problem. When I run ifconfig on Dom0, I see this on the guest''s vif: vif2.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF UP BROADCAST NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:32 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) As you can see, I don''t see a "RUNNING" flag on guests'' vifs. Can anyone please help me out? I''m completely lost here. If it helps, I''m running Ubuntu 7.04, and I''m experimenting with an HVM guest (Windows XP). Thx, Jun _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
When you use broadcom network cards, try the Broadcom drivers instead of the linux kernel driver. http://www.broadcom.com/docs/driver_download/NXII/linux-1.5.10c.zip When you have other network cards, look at this: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-05/msg00817.html or so. You have to make ethtool -K nicX tx off while nicX is your network adapter or bridge. Google for that a little more. You can adjust you scripts to do that automatically on startup.

Hi Hinrich, Thanks for your response. I am using a BroadCom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02), and I am currently using the BroadCom driver. I''ve also tried the ethtool command you gave me, but it didn''t work either. Rather, here''s what I saw when I did ethtool on vif''s: root@perodua:~# ethtool vif0.0 Settings for vif0.0: Link detected: yes root@perodua:~# ethtool vif2.0 Settings for vif2.0: Link detected: no root@perodua:~# So it seems that my HVM Windows XP guest is not "plugged in", hence no "RUNNING" flag on ifconfig; how should I go about fixing this? I''m even more confused now because the following post (http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2005-12/msg00017.html) suggests that a tg3 based machine (tg3 is the name of the BroadCom driver) works out of the box with no hassle. Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.

Yes, I am using the BroadCom driver and not the kernel driver, and the driver is called ''tg3'', as it states in the README file: Installation Notes Broadcom tg3 Linux Driver Version 3.71b 12/15/2006 ... I downloaded this from the BroadCom website http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtreme_desktop.php. I believe the link you previously gave me (bnx2) is for BCM5706/BCM5708/5709, whereas I have BCM5754 (tg3). Any clues? I''m still very lost.

[Xen-users] Xen networking problem - OK on 3.0.2, broken on 3.0.4
I just confirmed that my methods work with Xen 3.0.2, and I''m not exactly sure why the same methods wouldn''t work with Xen 3.0.4, which is the version I need to be looking at. By "working", I mean that the "RUNNING" flag appears on the guest domain''s vif when I run ifconfig and that the private networking between the host and the guests works. I''ll be investigating more into this issue; meanwhile, any input would be appreciated.

AW: [Xen-users] Xen networking problem - OK on 3.0.2, broken on 3.0.4
I''m sorry, the only hint I could give you is to update to 3.1 I''m having a less problems with 3.1 than I''m having with 3.0.x On a Dell Poweredge 1950 I simply installed etch and xen 3.1. The only thing I had to do was to install Broadcom nic driver. No problems occurred whatsoever. Try 3.1!

By "working", I mean that the "RUNNING" flag appears on the guest domain''s vif when I run ifconfig and that the private networking between the host and the guests works. I''ll be investigating more into this issue; meanwhile, any input would be appreciated.
