[Xen-users] Cannot ping DomU from Dom0 / cannot ping same site from two DomUs at the same time

Hello!

I have two problems. One is, that I cannot ping a DomU from Dom0 (or any
other host in my local network) and the second one is, that I cannot
ping the same site (eg. www.suse.com) from two DomU''s at the same time.

I have a fresh installation of openSuse 11.0 with Kernel
2.6.25.20-0.1-xen and my box has two physical ethernet cards.

As far as I have investigated, eth0 is the one which is grabbed by the
Xen-scripts, als you can see here:

# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
eth0            8000.003048d69cfa       no              peth0
                                                        tap0
                                                        vif7.0

The file xend-config.sxp is unmodified, I filter here all those comments:
# egrep -v "^$|^#" xend-config.sxp
(xen-api-server ((unix none)))
(xend-unix-server yes)
(xend-relocation-hosts-allow ''^localhost$
^localhost\\.localdomain$'')
(network-script network-bridge)
(vif-script vif-bridge)
(dom0-min-mem 512)
(dom0-cpus 0)
(vncpasswd '''')

ifconfig shows these one, while one DomU is running.

It also seems, that all those various arp-addresses are set up fine.
00:16:3e:1f:0b:3c is the one I see inside the DomU

# brctl showmacs eth0

  1     00:e0:7d:79:a6:c1       no                 0.92
  2     00:ff:c5:e9:26:66       yes                0.00
  1     08:00:20:0b:cf:35       no                 0.92
  3     fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff       yes                0.00

Now when I do a ping from Dom0 to DomU I see the following tcpdump:
09:45:43.191701 arp who-has 192.168.222.102 tell 192.168.222.16
and no answer within a few seconds.

So it seems that something with arp is not fine. Any ideas what to do next?

#######

The other problem which may be related is a little bit more strange. I have set
up two DomU''s, one with Vista-32bit and one with Vista-64bit. Both have
differend IP-addresses and different MAC-addresses. I can ping whatever host (in
my LAN or in the internet) with both DomU''s. No problem. I can also
ping any
host, even on a different subnet in my LAN from both DomU''s at the same
time.

But when I try to ping www.suse.com (or any other host in the internet) at the
same time only that DomU pings successfully where I started the ping first, the
other DomU fails. If one DomU pings www.slashdot.org an other other pings
www.suse.com both pings work fine. Ping also works fine, when I ping any other
host in my LAN from both DomU''s. This one puzzles mee too. I
crosschecked and
can ping from any other pair of my machines to the outside without problems.

Thanks
Wolfgang

Dump Suse?

Kidding :)
If it were ARP issue your domU would be completely disconnected from
network. Since you say you can ping other host from domU, that''s
probably not it. I''d check domU''s firewall first, most likely
its
blocking things (including ICMP echo). Disable it first for
troubleshooting purposes.

At this point I suggest check your networking setup. Perhaps your
router/firewall to the internet is doing something funny?

Argh! I forgot that "fine" Windows firewall.

Ping from one DomU to the other works now fine.
Ping from any host in my LAN to DomU works fine too.

Shame on me, many thanks to you.

My Router/Firewall is a good old Sun IPX (yeah! Still alive an running
NetBSD), a tcpdump on this machine shows the following:

...

So it seems, that the remote host does not reply.

Please note, when I ping from Dom0 *and* from one of the DomU''s at the
same time,
it works fine. Just en excerpt from tcpdump in this case.

11:56:21.960194 195.135.220.3 > 192.168.222.16: icmp: echo reply seq 14

However, I will investigate this at a later moment.

Thanks
