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.
The kind of speed results he is getting are more typical if WiFi. We have been assuming that ethernet is being used.
