Hi folks.

I'm trying to install my first Xen domU and I thought I'd go with the 
defaults so my domU is configured to use bridged networking thus:
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ]

Which, when xend runs, results in this:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:55:1A:65:D2  
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

But then inside the domU, running Ubuntu Edgy, it's not finding any 
network:
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 
134993416

DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6

So, ideally without wanting to get into bridging details, what am I 
doing wrong?

(Yes, it's a steep learning curve.  Though so far I'm pretty impressed 
with how easy it's been.)

Trickle-down theory--the less than elegant metaphor that if
one feeds the horse enough oats, some will pass through to
the road for the sparrows.
