Virtual PC 2007: Slow Login Process

Source: microsoft.public.virtualpc
Sent: 06/25/2008
From: JSansone35
Message:

I am running a Dell Latitude D520 with 2GB of RAM and 2 NIC's (Broadcomm and
Dell Wireless). For some reason or another, when I try to run various
Virtual machines the boot process once I have logged into Windows is
excessively slow. This only seems to happen when I am using my wired LAN
card.

When I use wireless it works flawlessly. Unfortunately in my office I do
not have wireless connectivity, so I am relegated to using the wired LAN.

Does anyone have any suggestions what might be the cause of this slow boot
problem? I have tried searching the web for this, but I have not come across
any similiar issues. This problem occurs whether I am using a newly created
VM or if I try one that was previously created.

Here are some HW Specifics:
Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller (Driver version 4.37.0.0) I have
also tried the updated driver as well.

Windows XP SP2

All VM additions have been applied.

Any help you can lend would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

Sounds like they're trying to resolve network connectivity. Are you
changing the NIC in the VMs you're using to the wired NIC? If not,
they're probably trying to resolve DNS, etc, with no network
connection.

Thanks for the prompt response. I don't know if it is a DNS problem or not.
When I am using the wired LAN, I actually disable the wireless NIC in the VM
Setup so that there isn't a conflict. When wireless I do the same (disable
wired and enable wireless).

There definitely is no problem with the wireless system. I have even gone
as far as to remove (clear out) entries in the VMC file so that the
application would refresh this information. This did not make a difference.

Thanks,

Joe

There's this:

Just to clarify, when you say you're disabling the wireless NIC in the
VM setup, do you mean you're selecting the Wired NIC in the Network
Settings for the VM?
