Ian,

I did not intend to top post. I have already posted this once on Xen-devel and got no response.

Erin,

We also have what appears to be this problem, on Fedora 16 with Xen 4.1.2. We can create guests with xm that connect to network but the same guest will not connect, when created by xl. In both cases we can see the appropriate vif has been created and attached (xl network-list shows it) but no connectivity from within the guest. (If I convert the same guest config file to virsh format, then virsh also creates and connects it to the network successfully.)

I post this to the list as evidence that this is not just a problem with SuSE.

Sincerely,

John
