        poldas, try it:

        Step 1:  # pkg install xe-guest-utilities

        Step 2: Enable it to start on boot.

        echo "xenguest_enable="YES"" >> /etc/rc.conf.local

        ln -s /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xenguest /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xenguest.sh

        Step 3: Start

        service xenguest start

        The service will start automatically when you next reboot
        it works for v2.2 on 6.5 XS

        p.s.
        your VM must be connected to inet

            I don't know what happened to you, but I can verify that it worked with 2.3.2-RELEASE.

            Regards
