Hi;
I am new to VMWare und installed the Server2 on one of my desktops Dell Vostro 6GB Ram, Intel i7 2.8 GHz, Network adapt. Broadcaom Netling Gigabit Ethernet and one of my Toshiba laptops 4GB, 2.2 Ghz, Network Realtek PCIe Family Controller. Both machines are running 64bit Win 7. I have installed two Windows XP machines as virtual machines on both of them.
Accesssing the XP on the the desktop works fine and the network performance is perfect as well. When I copy a 10 MB file withing my home network it does it in a second or so.
On the laptop it is a very different picture, accessing anything via the network takes a very long time, copying a 10MB file takes about 6-7 minutes. I am just wondering is there anyway to tweak the network on the laptop to get a better performance? I can see that the the laptop has a higher configuration, but I would not have thought this should make such a difference especially since working on the machine via RDP works perfectly fine. It is just any network traffic is very slow.
Thanks for any help
Thomas
