We have our FDS server installed in a Xen VM. You don't mention any 
information about how you have your Xen server (or VM) configured. My 
guess is that you used the default configuration for your network setup. 
In this scenario, your Xen host server builds an internal virtual 
network and performs Port Address Translation (PAT or Port NAT). Your 
internal VM is not directly accessible from the outside world. If this 
is the case, it really is a question that belongs in the Xen-users 
mailing list. My suggestion is that you ensure you can bring up a secure 
shell into your VM server. You will most likely need to use the 
vif-bridge Xen scripts.
