The domU got it's ip from the corporate DHCP server, which is what I intended (that's why I'm running bridged, I'm using virtual servers to separate functions while conserving physical boxes, so I want them to present as separate systems to users on the network). Can't retest right now, as I'm back to just a newly installed Dom0 for what I hope will be the actual production install. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
