I have vmware server 2 installed on Windows 2008 host. There are a few windows 2003 enterprise guests and they all have poor utilization of my host network.
My host has 1Gbps connection and it is right now using less than 1% of that connection. If I start a large file copy on that host from another physical server it will use close to 100% of the connection. If I try to copy the same file to a guest running windows 2003 it will go waaaaay slower and only bump my host total network usage up to 2%! I would like my guests to utilize as much network as they can when it is available.
Any tips?
