Hi!
I''ve setup a HVM domain running Windows[tm] Server 2003.
The installation was no problem and when connecting from Dom0 to the
Windows machine via rdesktop everything is fine.
The problems show up when connecting from others host of the network
to the Windows server or from the Windows server to the internet.
Most times the connection failed totally, sometimes it''s boring slow.
When trying to open any website on the Windows machine while sniffing
on the bridge or real ethernet interface, I can see packets going out,
but no answers coming in.
---snip---
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/boot/hvmloader"
device_model=''/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/qemu-dm''
builder=''hvm''
memory = 512
name = "win_2k3"
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, mac=00:de:fa:ce:d0:23, bridge=br1'' ]
disk = [ "phy:/dev/vg_shsserver2/lv_win2k3,hda,w",
"file:/home/win2k3.iso,hdc:cdrom,r" ]
boot="c"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncviewer=0
localtime=1
apic=0
acpi=0
---snip---
I''m a bit surprised that this configuration brings up two interfaces
associated with the windows machine which than are connected to the
bridge:
---snip---
shsserver2:~# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br1 8000.00304835cd62 no eth0
tap0
vif19.0
---snip---
The IP of the Dom0 machine is also configured on the bridge interface
as both belong to the same small network. All services offered from
Dom0 are running fine.
Any hints welcome!
Ciao & Thanks
Max

I''m seeing pretty much an identical situation, with windows 2003 SP2 64bit. Everything appears fine until an attempt to upload is made to the IIS server running in windows, then poof, no network any more. Problem is near the networking drivers, either in windows or in the HVM xen, I''m unsure which? I''ve attempted to load the GPLPV drivers however these are refusing to install but not yet looked to debug why they refuse. I have pae=1, acpi=1, apic=1, vcpus=4 otherwise our xen config files are very similar. This is under OracleVM (3.1.1) on AMD64. regards dave s _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

This is under OracleVM (3.1.1) on AMD64.I solved this problem by upgrading to Xen 3.2. It seems there were some nice changes done in the qemu related code and the network stuff was improved. After the update, my customer and I feel much more comfortable with this setup :) Ciao Max -- Follow the white penguin. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I think my customer will feel the same way and I''m very relieved. This wouldn''t be the first time a xen update made a windows box run better for me.
