Google search hasn't helped. I have been unsuccessful in getting eth0 interface up in dom0. My linux installation is FC3 and I get my address via DHCP. I am running Linux 2.6.11-xen0. I see the following steps recommended in the bridge-utils HOWTO page 1. Zero IP the interfaces. The bridge needs the network devices to be operational, but without TCP/IP running on them. # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 2. Create the bridge interface. # brctl addbr mybridge 3. Add interfaces to the bridge. # brctl addif mybridge eth0 [I believe steps 2 amd 3 will be done by executing xend start. I verified this by running 'brctl show' after I ran 'xend start'] 4. Put up the bridge. # ifconfig xen-br0 up Now that I have the bridge up, I tried running ifup eth0 to get an IP address. I get the following: "Determining IP information for eth0...PING from : eth0" [usual ping statistics stuff] failed. I suspect I am close but not there. Can someone provide the nudge please?
