Im trying to transfer a file from a Windows 7 host running VMWare Server to a Windows 2003 server VM, and it's painfully slow.

I've tried adding/adjusting registry keys and settings found on KB articles, and still nothing.

Ive tried this:

Vmware tools are installed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Are the VMs all on teh same host and if so, on the same hard drive – Dave M Aug 25 '10 at 15:56
Its one VM, on the same host machine, but on a separate drive – barfoon Aug 25 '10 at 15:58
What kind of NIC? If it is a RealTek, then this is a known issue for VMWare Server v2 and Workstation v7 (for some ReakTek cards). I searched the VMWare forums and KB site and tried their suggestions, such as disabling TCP Offload, IPv4 Checksum, etc. Unfortunately, I could never find a working solution to this problem. – jftuga Aug 27 '10 at 2:53

try this on your Windows 7 host:

  1. open command line
  2. netsh int IP set global taskoffload=disabled
  3. disable your NIC
  4. enable your NIC

Are there any other VMs on the host? If so, are they experiencing similar performance?
