Hi
As the subject line, what is the diffrence between E1000 and VMXNET3. When I use E1000 I get 1.0GB and when I use VMXNET3 I get 10GB.

I experience that it is the same speed copying between servers
with E1000 network adapters and between services with VMXNET3 network adapters. Why is that?
What are you trying to copy? How does your physical network looks like? If it's only 1 gbit this behaviour could be normal.
Copying ISO files from one wm´s to another, yes we have 10GB in the network.

Is the configuration on the virtual switch correct (auto-nego or 10000 full-duplex)? What speed are you getting at the moment? On what type of storage are you running/testing this?
The virtual switch is sat to 10000MB Full-duplex and it´s copying in 85Mbps

Irrespecitve of what you see inside the VM, the speed is always dependant on network card of your ESXi server. Apart from speed, VMXNET3 also provides support for jumbo frames and hardware off loads.
