how do I start the xen network - xen - Fedora mailing-lists

17 Dec 2006


      Hi all,
I installed the xen kernel (2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen) and it works except I 
no longer have network connection.
When I boot kernel 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6, the DHCP server provides an IP 
address and everything works just fine.
I use the default bridged network and the default config-xen.sxp
I haven't created any domU, yet.
The question is, how do I start the network? xend is running.
Here are the outputs of ifconfig and brctl show xenbr0:
