Thanks that's good to know. I wasn't mixing up HVM and PV though. The OP
wanted to know how to connect to his HVM Windows XP console. The 
instructions you linked didn't return the needed VNC port on XCP 1.1 for
a HVM.

Is "xenstore-ls /local/domain/DOM-ID/console" the wrong way to get the
VNC 
port? 

All I know is that it worked for me. If it's not right, please let me
know 
what is the correct way, as I already updated that WIKI based on my test

results.
