Hi Jeff,


Thanks for your advice.


If building a new Guest with "xen-create-image" Xen will take care of
everything.  I can ping the new Guest on either hostname or IP address.
 


If creating a new Guest by cloning an existing disk.img and swap.img. 
The new Guest works without problem.  But I can't ping it on its
hostname, always complaining host not found.  However I can ping its IP
address without problem.  I suspect whether MAC address can help me.
