Network card status only showing 10Mbps

nuzzy · Nov 2, 2007

Hi,

I just installed Windows XP in Parallels. When I look at the network card it only shows 10Mbps instead of 100Mbps like it should. Any ideas why?

Hello,

what Network connection type are you using?

Best regards,

Hi Alicia,

We set it to pick up the default, which is the wireless card at this time.

nuzzy,

install Parallels Tools, please.

Best regards,
Alicia.

Maybe I misunderstood you. Parallel Tools is currently installed and it's using the "Realtek" driver. That is the one showing 10Mbps.

nuzzy, it's just standard driver's work, actually it doesn't influence the network card capacity because its practical network transmission speed will only depend on your Mac's characteristics anyway.

Best regards,
