Okay, it turns out the problem is more simple than I thought (but I still
don''t know how to solve it). So ignore my previous post, here is what
is
happening:
On a normal kernel, successful pings shows up on tcpdump and Wireshark
On the xen kernel, successful pings do not show up on tcpdump or Wireshark.
BUT, other packets like SSH connections do.
Anyone know why this is happening?
