Windows 2000 VMWare Virtual machine time and ping slow
I had P2V a physical Windows 2000 server to VMWare ESX 3.1 about 3 months ago.
I have notice recently that the clock has been running slow. Also when I ping out of the server, I always get a 10ms response. If I ping from a server to the converted Windows 2000 server, the ping goes to a normal 1ms on the local LAN.
I think the slow ping times and clock are related. What should I check for?

No other issues with networking.
I found that 10ms is the way Windows 2000 reports the ping times versus the 1ms of Windows 2003.
As for the time, it is not syncing with the host time but with active directory.
I can tell that the time is slowly losing time versus the actual time as minutes pass.
I was wondering because 4 vCPUs had been converted over in the p2v that the machine is having issues with the multiple CPUs assigned to the older Windows 2000 server.

Yes. 10ms is Windows 2003 standard ping time.
VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
