I don't have anything for the domains (config wise) in /etc/xen They 
appear to be in /var/lib/xend/domains/[hex hash]/config.sxp /etc/xen has 
examples in it, etc.

Here's what I tried, just as a test. In the console of the virtual 
machine, I modified /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and 
changed the IP there to something else not in use on my network. When I 
try to bring up the interface with an ifup eth0, I get the following:

Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring.

This config was working before I stepped on the power cord (dangit!), so 
just trying to get it back. When you are specifying the vif, do you use 
the mac of the eth0 on the Dom0 or the peth0, or ...

Thanks for the responses!
