extreme slow file transfer (30-1000 kbs) from host computer, but the vm's transfer normal within the physical box

The problem is occurring on another physical server with VMware also, so both instances of VMware (4 and 5) on 2 different physical machines are having this in/out problem transferring between an outside machine, or each other, so its not all the NICS causing this, its somethign in the VMware configuration or lack there-of because both physical machines cant seem to allow a fair transfer rate above a few hundred kbps between virtual machnines housed in the box and an machine/box on the LAN.

everything set to 100 full.

getting 25 Mb/s transfer on virtual machines transferring within teh physical box.

tried 2 different NICS. plus other server having this issue.

other physical machines are xp and 7.

the VMware virtual machines on teh 2 physical boxes are one Windows7 vm and 3 virtual servers- 64bit windows 2008 r2 (obvious correlation?)

ive done everything i know, turned off firewall, ive tried almost every combination of advanced options on the vmxnet3 NIC, etc

any ideas?
