Host Xp( 1 Gbps) and Guest(Ubuntu) 100,0 Mbs, how to fix that?

LocalAreaConnection 1 Gbps and VirtualBox Host-Only 100 Mbs, how to fixthat?i used Nat and Bridge blah blah..all VirtualBox adapter types and nothing

If it works, don't fix it.
We suppose your understanding of networking is limited.
 º  The speed  of any one endive does not reflect the real overall speed.
 º  Ethernet allows different speeds in different segments.
Having a gigabit connection is more that what most users need.
Having 100mbps is very good.
So what is your problem?

my problem is that i want THE BEST...or MAXIMUM for my virtual speed..there i make my ''work'' and i need best quality

[Geek-9pm]

Perhaps you did not understand.
Let's say thee is a network of many devices, some hardware, some software things.
The network itself runs at gigabit. Fine. But one device in the network has a limit of 100 Mbps, it will always be that speed. The rest of the network will allow it to exchange data, but cannot force it to go faster.

ok man but how u explain this?my PC have 90 mbs/sec tested with speedtest.net and my guest( virtual OSUbuntu  ) have 9 mbs/sec tested with speedtest.net ,with same speedtest server, why? i strugle to understand why? maybe i will try vmware....i thought that was the problem...but u said: Nope...uhh i don't know how to solve this...

You expect a virtual machine to get the high speed on a network?
Answer.: You can't.  To run Ubuntu and Windows XP at the same time with the best connection sped you must  do this three  step project.
1. Get another computer.
2. Install Ubuntu on it.
3. Hook both computers  to the same router.

Both computers will have full use of the network and ill share the speed.

You can safely ignore the above, there is nothing to stop a Virtual Machine from getting full network speeds.  *censored*, many servers nowadays run within virtual machines.

If you are using NAT or Bridged then you won't be using the Host Only Adapter at all - Set it to NAT/Bridged (Bridged being preferable) and then check the interface speed from within Ubuntu itself.

i used VirtualBox so i will use VMWARE player then.....mmm let's see and choose nat/bridges and i will check the interface speed, thanks  hehe but if i have problems i come back to you )
thanks for the help for now and have a nice day
