Maybe you could send the domU config output? As Dustin alluded to it sounds like maybe your domU is getting a different MAC address each time it boots, which, if you're using DHCP, will result in a new IP each time. Also, if you're looking to set a static IP in Windows you need to set it in Windows - that is, go to the Network control panel, view the Properties of the network card -> TCP/IP and then set it to static in there.
The IP setting is for PV guests only as far as I know. Presumably
you are running a DHCP server. You can assign a MAC to the Windows machine
so it doesn't change each time; you can then set up a DHCP reservation for
that MAC so Windows always get the same IP from the DHCP sever.

Subject: [Xen-users] Static IP's with Windows Guests
Hey everyone, I was curious, I have set up a few windows guests, but
rebooting them assigns a new IP to them. I have set the vif
configuration to an IP, but it seems to disregard this. Is there a way
to define a static IP for a windows guest, without loggin into windows
and explicitly setting it there?
Thanks
