Re: [Xen-users] vif-bridge script is called even configured to use NAT

err...I followed this guide, and it did not mention the 'script' option. I will give it a try.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that if you use network-script, you also need to put
something like

vif = ['ip=10.0.0.1' , script='vif-nat']

Plus, instead of using xen's vif-bridge/vif-nat script, it's better to:
- leave network-script in xend-config.sxp commented out
- create your OWN bridge
- add necessary iptables rules if you want to use NAT
