Hello,
I have been testing xen for a few days now, and things seem to be
working
almost fine.
However, I am having seriously annoying problems with my networking
setup.
On both dom0 and any domU I don’t seem to be able to resolve
hostnames. I
know it is definitely caused by xen and not some other networking
related
issue as if I disable xend on bootup, nslookup resolutions and
pings to
hosts lookup fine.
I can ping to ip addresses fine both locally and on the internet
fine, just
not resolve hostnames.
My ifconfig output on dom0 gives the following:

And if I enable virtual domains vif1.0 enables fine. I also have
the bridge
setup correctly I believe through:
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
xenbr0 8000.feffffffffff no peth0
vif0.0
iptables is running with the following:
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

dpt:ipp
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state

ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state
NEW tcp
dpt:ssh
REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-
with
icmp-host-prohibited
As I say, pings are fine, just network name resolutions. I have
tried using
ethtool to do the following:
ethtool -K peth0 tx off
as suggested by one other member on the mailing list but this
didn't work
either.
I am at the end of the line in terms of ideas - it seems such a
frustratingly annoying problem and I believe I am so close!
Any help very much appreciated!
Nick
