This thread was started over a year ago; but yet, I have the latest and greatest with the same problem.
OS X 10.5.4 Leapord
Fusion 1.1.3 (I see 2.0 Beta is out, but I can't test that now)
Windows Vista
MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, 4 GB ram (2gb for Vista's VM)
First, I have a monster connection speed. These are the speeds when run at
http://www.testmy.net through the mac. No, this is not a fluke. I got a special deal for 20 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up @ home (got to love Verizon FIOSand discount vendors).

Sadly, my Vista instance of Fusion shows only 300kbps (30kB/s) upstream (downstream is very close to normal speeds). I am using one network interface as NAT and one as Host Only. My idea was to use the Host Only to map a dedicated share (and put my data files on the mac's drive).
After I shut down tonight, I will switch over to Bridged mode for the primary network card. But I highly agree with Yaztromo with his post here:

Switching to Bridged is not a viable solution with all of the roaming I do, but I must do it for now (and God do i hope i have faster speeds when u guys are using).
Will this ever resolved? I made a comment in this
http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-2527 for future reference of this issue.
