Ok, no WLAN... sound good.

Please check, if there are any network collision detected.

If there arn't any check out the hint I prompted in the 2nd post: I made a performance enhancement by adding a second network adapter to the VM and used the host only config for it. You should give this option a chance. Be carefull with the subnet while configuring this things.

    hey there,

    ive already added the second nw-adapter like you did. no better performance.

    but anyway, got no time left at this moment for that crap. think i need to get a proper pc for the WHS and not a uITX...
    just wanted to say thanks to you for your support, really appreciate that :D:D:D

    You are welcome!

    Did you checked this point:
    "check the routing sequence on the HTPC vmnet1 (host only) -> vmnet0 (bridged) -> LAN and on the WHS vmnet1 -> vmnet0"

    However... a dedicated WHS is a good thing.

    Yeah, checked that.

    THing is: When I installed WHS on the uITX Board it was slow as f***. I thought it would some sort of wrong or missing driver for W2k3.
    That's why I thought your solution would work. But by now I think the board including the network card and chipset just sucks :mad:

    Think I'll get myself a 19" rack :D

    Absolutely agree... ;) Check out my view of it here. Server is currently and new one will be with Windows XP first, but later comes WHS. I can not imagine that I would buy something "in box".

    Nice setup :)

    But before you buy the miniITX make shure there are available drivers for W2k3/WHS!
