Server, Windows 2008, X64 with Hyper-V RC0

Guest Windows 2003, SP2, Integration Services, and fully patched.

When using the synthetic network adapter I get great speed to the virtual
guest, but almost nothing on the transmit side.

I can browse the internet but not use windows update. I can run speed tests
but all fail on the upload portion. I can map a drive and copy files from a
file server on our network, but not from the virtual guest to the same
mapped drive.

I have 2 Intel 1000 PT and 2 Intel 1000 EB cards in the host.

These are teamed into a quad LACP (802.11ad) team.

I am also running 2 tagged VLANS (no untagged vlans)

The results do not change if I disable 3 out of 4 of the team members.

The host server does not have any network problems.

I could really use some looking into this. For now I am going back to
the legacy adapter that works in both directions just 4-5 times slower.

As a test I have reduced the complexity.
single network adapter

Intel Pro 1000 EB With I/O Acceleration

Latest driver

No team

No VLANs

No teaming config on the switch

Same issue. Great speed with synthetic network but only to the guest. (15
seconds to copy a file to the guest, 180 minutes (estimated) to copy it
back, but typically it fails)

I have the same problem with Windows Update on hyper-v rc0 running server
2003 R2 X64.

I keep reloading the OS and still have the error.

I think you will find that if you add a legacy virtual adapter you will be
able to get the windows update completed.

but you will still have problems with the synthetic one after all the
updates.

Let me know if you find anything different.

Correct. I just found that out. However, the legacy network adapter only
works in 32-bit guests because there is not 64-bit driver for 2003 64-bit.

This appears to be a bug in RC0. Hopefully there will be a fix shortly.

Of course.
Although I am only using 32 bit guests right now, the speed out of the vm
bus adapter is sooo much better, is only it worked.

Some cross posting that s a bit

"
Can you try with the DisableTaskOffload functionality as noted on this page?



http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/94176.mspx?mfr=true"



When done on both guest and host things are working better for me. I have to
test more to see what the best options are.

Yep that ed me too. WU on my guest works now. I did not yet try it on
the host.

Thanks, Steve

Ah ha! Thank you. I dropped the DisableTaskOffload key into my 2k3 x64 guest (and only the guest, not the host), rebooted it, and now Microsoft Update works in the guest.

Just goes to show that you really *should* trust what you read on the web.

Now, about that bridge in New York city I was talking about earlier ...

Hi,

How did you even get the 2K3 x64 ethernet controller to work?
I can not find the drivers anywhere for the virtual network card to come up.

FYI... I am running R2, which shouldn't matter?

Forget it... I was able to find the Synthetic driver.
It was under the Hardware Configuration of the VM as a type of Network
Adapter you could install.

Thanks all for your support...
