damn, that isn't good even if your nic is only 100mbits. For the price though, and given the way things are going speed wise, I would defo invest in a gigabit network card for your pc whilst at the same time making sure VM do something to improve your connection.

Getting a new nic, ensuring that you are using cat5e patch cables and using a router (presumably you have got a shub) with gigabit ports all eliminate potential bottlenecks and stops VM from using them as an excuse.
