I think you are confused. Trying to use a routed setup with a bridged
configuration.

Please send though 'brctl show xen-br0'. However I suspect you need to
think like this.


In the bridged setup xen-br0 acts in two ways. As a virtual interface on
the host machine taking over the eth? role of provide an NIC interface
to the application layer. Second, as a virtual switch which other
interfaces on the host can plug into.


vif1.0 should have no IP in a bridged setup. It should only be connected
to the xen-br0 bridge. Packets from eth0 in domU go though the tun p-t-p
tunnel and hit the xen-br0 bridge. So eth0 on domU should be on the same
sbunet as xen-br0 on domO.


Try 
ifconfig eth0 addr:192.168.1.100

on domU.


I haven't tested this myself, but I assume in a routed setup vif1.0 and
eth0 are more like two networks cards with a crossover. In this case
you'd ignore the 'pointopoint' part of the configuration for vif1.0.

'ifconfig eth0 192.168.5.2' and 'ifconfig vif1.0 192.168.5.1' would
probably be sufficent. Nicholas
