what options do you have in your xend-config.sxp? Do you have bridge-utils installed? some network options I use in my xend-config.sxp are: (network-script network-bridge) (network-script network-dummy) (vif-script vif-bridge) and in my domU configs i have something like this: vif = [ 'ip=10.1.2.94' ] and I also have that same ip in a static config for networking in the domU. hth, Jeff -- 8 out of 10 Owners who Expressed a Preference said Their Cats Preferred Techno. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
