VMWare Server 2.0 and Win2003 Server Network Slowness Fixed
Sunday, May 24th, 2009I have VMWare Server 2.0 running on an Ubuntu Intrepid host with a Windows 2003 Server guest OS. The network speed, evidenced by SAMBA/SMB connections, was a crawl compared with other XP guests. I scratched my head for a long time. THE SOLUTION: Change the guest VM “Number of Processors” setting from 2 to 1. Network speed goes back to expected speed.
