Networking is slow

[encino]

I installed Workstation 8 on one of my machines and have 2 VMs on it.  The issue is when I try to copy a file from my main PC (which has VM Workstation) to my other PC I am only getting about 300kb/s.  This is NOT copying from within the VM to the other PC, its from the main PC itself.  I should get local lan speeds not 200-300kb/s.  My question is when I was running player in the netiworking on Windows I noticed the adapters were disabled.  Are they supposed to say disabled in Network and Sharing center?

Hi encino

Welcome to the forums.

Its generally depend upon matter you are transferring  .

If is this images or multimedia then definitely will be slow .

I am using Bridged.  I disabled both vmware adapters both in WIndows, rebooted and now my bandwidth is back to local lan speeds.
