Hi all,
I'm running VMware-server-2.0.0-122956.x86_64 on a Linux debian host, kernel version is 2.6.26-1-amd64.
Under that host, I have 3 guests, 2 Linux debian guests with kernel version 2.6.26-1-amd64, and 1 Win 2003 Srv (32 bit) guest.
Here the hardware info of the host:
MEMORY INFO

power management:
Vmware utilities are running OK.
I use only bridged LAN, here the related hardware info:
eth0: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x4) 00:30:48:d4:a5:cc
eth1: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x4) 00:30:48:d4:a5:cd
The problem is: the 3 guests runs well for 10-15 of uptime, than the network performance gradually degrade and after 30-40 days of uptime I have to shut down the guest and restart the guest (a reboot is not sufficient) otherwise the guests are not usable.
I have the same problem in other 2 hosts with similar hardware.
Any help will be very appreciable.
Thanks.
