I haven't had many problems under 25ft with Cat-5. I ordered some Cat-6 cables just in case. Virtualbox 4.0.6, Turnkey Fileserver 11.1, FreeNAS 0.7 & 0.8 I am planning on 2 VMs on this system so I don't want to abandon Virtualbox. The CPU use during the transfer is about 20% in the Host and about 5%-10% in the VM. Everything says I have 1Gbps in the VM, Virtualbox and Host. Also people suggest I haven't set the nic to 1Gbps in VM or Virtualbox or that I am using a 100Mbps switch which I am not.Īgain the client to host is many times faster than 100Mbps as well as Host to Host. I keep getting suggestions that the Hard Drives are the problem, but they can't be due to the host D: to host E: working at full speed. I've exhausted my searching on Google for solutions to the problem. I have reinstalled the Host OS and the client OS several times. The client shows lots of free memory and the VM shows lots of free memory. When I transfer a file between client and VM or between host and VM I get almost exactly 100Mbps speeds. But I still want to use Bridged mode if at all possible. Please note, the Host Only reports 100Mbps and I don't know how to change that. Turnkey Fileserver and FreeNAS both report the network as 1Gbps. I have set the VM to use the Intel 1000 nic and set the VM with the command line to 1000000. The Host isn't used for anything except running Virtualbox. C: is a Compact Flash and the page file is on D. I can copy a large file from D: to E: on the Host at about the same speed. I can transfer files to and from a shared folder on the XP Host at 56MB/s. I have a Windows XP SP3 host with a Gb nic plugged into a Gb switch connecting at 1Gb.
