Thread: Need Help: Internet Speed Really Slow in virtual box - Tata Indicom

Hey folks,

Needed help. I have Vista installed in my laptop. I installed the virtual box virtualization software and installed Windows XP in it. Actually my intention of installing XP was to download from torrents and other p2p sites in it. I didn't wanted any malware or trojan from p2p site infecting my host system(vista). Everything worked fine. Then i realized that the internet speed inside virtual box was damn slower compared to outside. In my host system(vista) it took about 5seconds to render www.indiabroadband.net where as in guest system(xp) it was taking more than 30seconds. I kept the network adaptor settings to default in virtual box.
Any idea as to why the internet is slower inside virtual box? Any kinda of suggestion would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.
