[olug] Xen and bridged networking

OK, I'm just starting to dabble with Xen 3.0.3 on my CentOS 5.2 box.
It's an older CPU that doesn't have any of the built-in virtualization
niceties that new CPU's do.

A couple weeks ago, I ran through some wizard to setup the xen host
(dom0).  I don't now remember what options I chose.  Now I want to
setup a new domU, and the only networking option I get is a NATted
IP inside a private subnet.  I want this domU to have a real IP
on my LAN that gets assigned by my existing DHCP server.  I'm
assuming that somewhere I must have chosen against having bridged
networking, but now I can't find how to turn that back on.

Any pointers you folks can give me would be much appreciated.
