Re: [CentOS] Slow CentOS VM when running off the network

Are you running VMWare Workstation or Server? I am running VMWare Workstation under MS Vista with a bunch of Centos guest VMs. I noticed that when my Vista host network connection changes state (becomes unavailable or becomes available for any reason) that the VMWare software switch has real trouble. I often lose my ability to DHCP, for example. Or perhaps DNS is impacted. It is my feeling that their networking code is just not very robust.

Would using shared folders be a viable alternative?
