Yodel! [cc:'s appreciated] I'm a bit confused. Bridged networking, no firewall, external host on the same network as the Xen machine. I can ping between external, domU and dom0 in all directions. I can ssh between domU and dom0, and I can ssh between dom0 and external, in both directions. I can't ssh between domU and external at all. Or any other TCP based thing. Connection opens (netstat shows an open connection), so some initial ACK seems to go through, but after that the connection is dead. ping works regardless of packet size, so it isn't an MTU issue. I assume it's not a MAC issue as ping wouldn't work, right? I'm not sure where to start looking. (Oh, yes: everything is on SLES10) cheers -- vbi -- Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 53rd day of Confusion in the YOLD 3174
