I have been try to troubleshoot or pinpoint a networking issue with Windows XP SP3. In the VM we created, I need to reset the proxy interface with netsh on startup, the script is in the startup folder of all users. Resetting the proxy port can take anywhere from 25 - 40 seconds, sometimes even longer.
Real Windows PC:
12 seconds, first run
1 second, second run
VB VM:
30-40 seconds, first run
1 second, second run
What gives ? Can anyone reproduce this on any other platform ? Any tips.. ?
----- test script -----
@echo off
echo before netsh reset: %time%
netsh interface portproxy reset
echo after netsh reset: %time%
pause
-----test script ----
VirtualBox 4.1.2
CentOS 6.0 w/ updates
Windows XP SP3, with all fixes and patches
Thank you
