Nicolas,

I am following this thread with interest as a system I was about to setup is using the same driver and in the same networking scenario! If in a small segment with only one subnet and the default gateway on that subnet as you describe above, the Xen machine even in bridged mode won't have connectivity if Dom0 has an ip on the same subnet? Giving the Xen machine an IP on a different subnet would make it tricky to connect from another machine in this setup?

 

Thanks!

Joseph,

The only time I hit into this kind of problem is when using VPN sitting on the same subnet locally as on the other end of the tunnel so the VPN client is unable to route it over to the same subnet on the other side, this is quite expected behavior why one have to put another route between the client pc or change the ip range of the local network and then set up a VPN tunnel.. But on a local network where you have a Xen instance on 192.168.1.110, the Dom0 host on 192.168.1.100 (bridiging in between as default with Xen)  with a gateway of 192.168.1.1 I don't see the problem, the clients on the network can access both last time I tested. I would be really surprised if this would have passed broken through RH and CentOS testing phases.
