Spent several days trying to fix this before finding your page, the ethtool command worked perfectly and fixed the problem for me :)

Now its no worse than a native XP machine (i.e. horrible, but there you go!)

I am still having a problem with my VM.
I am having 2 Win2K3 VMs running on VMWare on XP (VMWare used is either Server console or workstation or VMWare player)
Once the first Win2K3 boots up and gets connected to the bridged network, if I boot the next one, inside the OS the network comes up, but all the ping packets show 100% loss to any IP in the network. I have static IP for the VMs.

I am using a wireless pci card “Belkin Wireless G Desktop Card”.
Please help!!

Thanks

I wasn’t able to install .NET 3.5 SP1 without this setting – it kept trying to reconnect.

I love you! :D

Thank you. I was poor network performance to my VMs from client PCs. And my ping rates would go every which way up and down on the vms, but the actual network card on the server would get a 1ms ping each and every time when pinging the host os. Running this command on my PowerEdge 2900 did the job! Thanks!

I’ve never used VMWare on Windows, but searching around it seems you want to disable “checksum offloading”.

There might be a tickbox in the network advanced config, or you might need a registry hack like in this article:
