Hi again, I just want to correct my previous message because I figured out why hostname could not be resolved on dom0. It was because iptables was blocking DNS queries. # iptables --flush solved all my networking problems, and now I can browse the web from my guest WinXP. Hope somebody will find this helpful ;-) Sachiko On 6/27/06, Sachiko Yoshihama <sachiko.yoshihama@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi Mike, I tried xen-unstable and I could finally install WinXP on domU! Thank you for your help! I still have some problems with xen-unstable, such as dom0 crushes at init (that I poorly worked out) and dom0 cannot resolve host names. But they seem to be issues on building xen-unstable. Thanks again for your kind help.
