Im running vm player 12.01-3160714 On a 64 bit windows machine.
I Have 3 vm images that I can play all at the same time and its lightning fast whether at work or at home .
The problem is at home when I startup my laptop and start cisco anywhere vpn to connect to company network all runs fine. I can grab files , surf web, vnc into other computers with close to same performance as at work (only slightly slower not enough to care about). Now , if I then open a vm image it open quickly as usual but runs extremely slowly. Im running 4 cores and 2 gig for the image and see little if any increase if I increase ram or cpu cores. Remember if I open the vm at home it runs fast as usual as long as the vpn software isn't running. I experimented last night and was on company network through vpn with my vm running . Talk about slow , click and wait . I then shut down the vpn software and the vm came to life .
any thoughts .... any help is greatly appreciated
cheers
