I have two Fedore Core 4 clients in my GSX 3.2 server on SuSE Enterprise 9. I also have a Windows 2003 SBS server.
Read a number of the posts regarding network throughput, have not finished installing Virtual Center yet, but I am getting ~ 100 KB/s transfer throughput to the virtual machines. I noticed the performance while attemting to scp some source files form the host to the guest vm.
Transfers from the guest os, to other machines are 3-5 Mb/s.
Any suggestions on what the issue is? I see the following vmnet processes. My guest vms are configured for bridged and have static ip address on the same network.
