Assuming you have a DHCP server on the local net, maybe ip tables in the dom0
is blocking the dhcp traffic?
Did you configure xend to do bridged or nat'd? Default is bridged.
Well, networking *does* work if I set an IP address manually and as I can reach it then from other machines it must be bridged. The problem is that I don't get an IP address when using dhcp :-( I wasn't aware that iptables is on and preconfigured in a domU that got setup with CentOS 5.1 virt-manager. Unfortunately, shutting it off doesn't solve the problem. Logging shows that the server gets a request from that MAC address and offers an IP address, but the client doesn't receive it. There's no firewall between the two, but the offer doesn't get back to the client somehow.
