It would be useful if you provided some more information about your setup - hypervisor type etc.
>From the sounds of your question, your network is working (I.e. You can ping your VM), and this is specific to security groups. One check you can perform is to ssh onto the host you're running your VM on, and trace traffic through the iptables chains (while performing a ping to/from the VM), e.g. iptables -Z && watch -n .5 iptables -nvL iptables -Z && watch -n .5 iptables -nvL BRIDGE-FIREWALL iptables -Z && watch -n .5 iptables -nvL i-2-8-def On XenServer, security groups requires using Linux Bridge instead of Open vSwitch. /opt/xensource/bin/xe-switch-network-backend bridge By default XenServer (6.x) disables iptable/arptable checking over bridges - you'll need to ensure those are enabled. # Disable *tables rules for bridge traffic to increase performance net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 1 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 1 I believe the functionality provided by CSP (iptables/ebtables handling etc) was included in XenServer 6.1 Hope that helps On 12/09/2013 14:26, "Michael Phillips" <mphilli7...@hotmail.com> wrote: >That's what I thought.
