I’ve written some of what I’ve done down.
But I haven’t come to the ioemu, but will update it late.

Ah cool, so you’ve got it working as a gateway? I might have to give this a try

I changed one thing in the config.

[...]
vnc=0
vncviewer=0
[...]

[...]
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
[...]

And I wasn’t able to connect to the server with my vncviewer from the other server so I made an ssh-tunnle and connected via it.

I did this from my laptop:
apt-get install vncviewer
ssh -f -L 5900:localhost:5900 root@192.168.0.29 -N
vncviewer localhost

Niice!

Hey! I’ve been testing some more and found some sweet stuff.
I’ll post the links:

Install everything as they say at howtoforge, but use the amd64 instead.
http://howtoforge.com/debian_etch_xen_from_debian_repository

Use this trick for the network:
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/470

And use this to configure it:

I don’t know yet if it works. I’m a total biginner and this is the first day (or night) that I’v even heard of Xen and the first time I’ve tried it. I hade to reinstall my Workstation just to try this because VMWare doestn’t emulate Intel VT

I’ll tell you how it goes…

Simon,

I’m not 100% sure as I’ve never personally used untangle a quick search on their forum suggests it’s possible although I think you need to compile your own kernel:

Also a nice big wiki page on Xen networking stuff

Hope this helps

Hello! Really nice how-to. But I have a question (never used Xen before).
Is it possible to create a xen-domain that can work as Gateway? Now I use one server as gateway and one as all the other. Let’s call the gateway gw and the other for server. The gw got Untangle right now and the server got Debian Etch. I’m thinking about removing the gateway and install Untangle as an xen-domain. Is this possible? Or won’t the xen-domain have enought access to the network cards?
