[Xen-users] Dom0 to DomU connection through virtual crossover cable
Hi, I have Xen 3.4.1 on OpenSUSE 11.2 and I succesfully installed Windows XP as DomU. My laptop has a (unused) eth0 and a wlan0 (sometimes) connected to a wireless network. I don''t know how to establish a virtual network connection (through a virtual crossover cable) between Dom0 and DomU. If I set vif1.0 ip address on Dom0 to 169.254.228.80 and ethernet ip address on DomU to 169.254.228.81, I can not ping Windows from Linux nor Linux from Windows. When I will solve this problem, I will also have to make DomU access the internet through Dom0 wlan0 connection. Any suggestions? Thank you, Michele _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

You should''ve put IP address inside Windows and inside Linux (on the bridge)> > When I will solve this problem, I will also have to make DomU access the > internet through Dom0 wlan0 connection. > Any suggestions?If you use RHEL/Centos5, the easiest way is to have domUs use virbr0, which is similar to Virtualbox/VMware''s NAT networking. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
