Hi,

First post in the VMWare community...apologies for bumping an oldish thread.

I'm still having issues with transfering files between Guest and Host.
It seems it is to du with my physical gigabit adapter.
A little about my setup...

I'm running VMWare workstation 6.5.2 on Win2k3 Enterprise Server R2, 32bit.
My on board physical NIC is a Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

Up untill this morning I was having HUGE headaches with this problem.
I had read hundreds of links and threads to do with this issue.
I had made various changes as suggested by many people.

You know what fixed it?
I disabled the NIC completely, put in an old Intel PRO/100 Ethernet Adapter.

Problem solved.

Thing is I'm soon to be upgrading my swicth to a gigabit switch...so I guess I'll not be able to get full speed out of it to my host server.
But for the time being, I can now transfer files between gues and host.

To add to this post further - doesn't look like anyone cares anyway - I ditched VMW Workstation and installed VMWare server.

And I can use my Gigabit NIC with no issues.

So you pay for a full blown product in the form of Workstation, yet the free version in the form of Server works flawlessly.

Go figure

Hi Angeleye,

I had the same problem under 7. There's no Option for that in the Device Manager, but you can change it directly in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\ has varaious subkeys. Find the one for your NIC (for me it was 0007) and change *LsoV1IPv4, *LsoV2IPv4" and LsoV2IPv6to 0. (The first letter is a "", not "L")

That did it for me, I hope it helps you too.
