Hello Ubunter[o|a]s,

I'm running Xen on Edgy from a raw LVM partition,
according to the
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XenVirtualMachine/XenOnUbuntuEdgy
howto.
Everything goes well, but I'm unable to connect to the internet from
Dom0. 
Here some informations on how the Dell inspiron 640m is configured:

I have tried to modify iftab, without any success.

eth1 mac 00:18:de:e2:b8:05 arp 1

Finally, I've also tried to remove --purge the network-manager (and his
gnome orchestra). ;)
But the problem still alive.
Did I miss something ? Is it launchpad time ?

Thanks for any help, advice or suggestion.

Freely,
John.
