    hi,

    i'm testing xen 3.1 in a debian testing several time:
    - firstly, my installing stopped before installing xen-tools
    and i can't have access to the network, neither my gw.
    i can ping my own adress but i can't ping else.

    - lastly, my installation stopped before installing xen-tools and
    after reboot of the xen kernel in a new station, i can ping my network x.x.2.x, my gw x.x.2.1
    but i can't ping x.x.10.x
    my network is a vlan : x.x.2.x and x.x.10.x are different network.

    is there something wrong about the network with xen 3.1 and debian ?

    thanks in adavance for your help.

    What exactly did you change in your network settings? What's in /etc/network/interfaces, what's the output of
    Code:
    ifconfig
    ?

    perhaps :
    # cat /etc/network/interfaces
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 172.20.2.160
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 172.20.2.1
    auto eth0

    ---------->
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 172.20.2.160
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 172.20.0.0
    broadcast 172.20.2.255 <---------
    gateway 172.20.2.1 <---------------
    auto eth0

    hmm...i can't tried it because i uninstalled xen 3.1
    well i think i am going to have a try again...:)

    Please try network 172.20.2.0 instead.

    Can you post the output of
    Code:
    cat /etc/network/interfaces
    again, but this time put CODE tags around it so that I can see the formatting? The leading spaces are important.

    Code:
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    
    #auto xenbr0
    #iface  xenbr0 inet static
    #       address 172.20.2.160
    #       netmask 255.255.255.0
    #       network 172.20.2.0
    #       broadcast 172.20.2.255
    #       gateway 172.20.2.1
    #       bridge_ports eth0
     # optional
    #       bridge_maxwait 0
    
    
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
     address 172.20.2.160
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     network 172.20.2.0
     broadcast 172.20.2.255
     gateway 172.20.2.1

    it's strange that i can't ping the gateway, neither the subnet 172.20.2.x
