Yesterday my UDP multicast test application could send maybe 20-40 times the data it can today. After installing 9344 it was so slow I though it had hung. I tried removing the updated Parallels Tools and going back to to the old PTools with no improvement. I once again removed and reinstalled the new PTools. I tried removing and re-adding the network adapter with no improvement. I am running a CentOS 5.3 guest under OS X 10.6.2 and all updates. Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions, -Ed
Interesting, there is nothing special was changed in this part. Could you please post here the output from Linux-side of the command /sbin/lsmod ?
Thank you very much for taking the time to investigate. Basically it acts like the Parallels Tools network drivers are not installed. Is there a way to check for that? -Ed [esutton@esutton-vm-centos5-4 ~]$ /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by prl_fs_freeze 9984 0 autofs4 29253 3 hidp 23105 2 rfcomm 42457 0 l2cap 29505 10 hidp,rfcomm bluetooth 53925 5 hidp,rfcomm,l2cap lockd 63081 0 sunrpc 145405 2 lockd prl_fs 25480 1 dm_multipath 24909 0 scsi_dh 11713 1 dm_multipath video 21193 0 hwmon 7365 0 backlight 10049 1 video sbs 18533 0 i2c_ec 9025 1 sbs i2c_core 23745 1 i2c_ec button 10705 0 battery 13637 0 asus_acpi 19289 0 ac 9157 0 ipv6 267617 22 xfrm_nalgo 13381 1 ipv6 crypto_api 12609 1 xfrm_nalgo lp 15849 0 floppy 57125 0 snd_intel8x0 35421 1 snd_ac97_codec 93025 1 snd_intel8x0 ac97_bus 6337 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_seq_dummy 7877 0 snd_seq_oss 32577 0 snd_seq_midi_event 11073 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 49585 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 11725 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 42817 0 snd_mixer_oss 19009 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 72133 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 24517 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 55749 11 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer pcspkr 7105 0 soundcore 11553 1 snd prl_eth 11136 0 snd_page_alloc 14281 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm prl_tg 17024 3 prl_fs ide_cd 40161 0 cdrom 36577 1 ide_cd serio_raw 10693 0 parport_pc 29157 2 parport 37513 2 lp,parport_pc dm_raid45 67145 0 dm_message 6977 1 dm_raid45 dm_region_hash 15681 1 dm_raid45 dm_mem_cache 9537 1 dm_raid45 dm_snapshot 22885 0 dm_zero 6209 0 dm_mirror 24265 0 dm_log 14657 3 dm_raid45,dm_region_hash,dm_mirror dm_mod 63225 11 dm_multipath,dm_raid45,dm_snapshot,dm_zero,dm_mirror,dm_log pata_acpi 9665 0 ata_piix 23621 0 ata_generic 10565 0 libata 157317 3 pata_acpi,ata_piix,ata_generic sd_mod 25281 0 scsi_mod 141717 3 scsi_dh,libata,sd_mod ext3 125001 2 jbd 57065 1 ext3 uhci_hcd 25421 0 ohci_hcd 24553 0 ehci_hcd 33869 0 [esutton@esutton-vm-centos5-4 ~]$
The output of lsmod shows that tools are installed - there is prl_eth module loaded and no ne2k-pci (exactly how it must be when tools are installed) Could you please reproduce the problem, then send a problem report using menu of Parallels Desktop "Help" -> "Report a Problem" and post here its id Please also - execute the command "top" in the Terminal of Linux. Aren't there some process that consumes too many CPU? - If top have not shown anything suspicious, start /Application/Utilities/ActivityMonitor at Mac OS and take a look whether CPU-usage of prl_vm_app is normal
Would also appreciate if you could really confirm it's update problem with retesting on previous update: http://download.parallels.com/deskt...lsDesktop-parallels-en_US-5.0.9310.546799.dmg
