Problem in vif-common.sh XEN 3.4

[Muriel]

Hi all,
i have continued the debug of the problem described here:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2009-07/msg00587.html


I have found the problem in vif-common.sh script, in the frob_iptable 
function:

iptables "$c" FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -m physdev \
    --physdev-out "$vif" -j ACCEPT 2>/dev/null

This command have this result:
iptables: Unknown error 18446744073709551615

Then the script exit abnormaly without set the hotplug-status on xenstore.

In another installation (ubuntu 8.04 xens 3.3) this call of iptables is 
not present.
If i comment the line the script, and the network in the vm, works fine.

Can I leave commented the line without problems?

Thanks,
Muriel

The iptables lines just set up paths through a firewall in dom0. If
networking is now working fine in your domU then you don't need those
iptables lines.
