Default XEN Multi NIC Setup won´t work

Hi,

I´ve set up a SLES10 SP2 System with the 2.6.16.60-0.27-xen Kernel, manually created a network script (/etc/xen/scripts/custom-script) and edited the /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp file, to use the custom network script.

The network script I created contains following:

--------------------------
#!/bin/bash
dir=$(dirname $0)
"${dir}/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=1 netdev=eth1 bridge=eth1
"${dir}/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=2 netdev=eth2 bridge=eth2
--------------------------

My planned network configuration:

eth0 -> normal use for Host
eth1 -> dedicated NIC for Dom1 (windows xp)
eth2 -> dedicated NIC for Dom2 (windows xp)
eth3 -> normal use for Host


For testing purposes, my goal is to create two Windows XP Virtual Machines, physicaly connect eth1 and eth2 with a crossover cable, and be able to ping each other over the physical Network Cards.

Following comands were executed after unsuccessfully trying to ping from Dom1 to Dom2 and vice versa.

output from "ifconfig":
