Now ive been looking on the VM site and found this.....

What interested me was the part that said this...
In most circumstances the best setting for this is Auto Negotiation. However some PC network cards do not auto-negotiate these settings correctly with the Cable Modem so selecting 100Mbps/Full Duplex or 100Mbps/Half duplex may provide a better result for your PC Network card.
What im wondering is this "Could" be the problem for some people having slow connections and is there a list somewhere of chipset/ethernet cards that are known to give this sort of issue?
