How to ping a WLBS server from another WLBS server

[fumble]

SYMPTOMS: When you ping a cluster host's dedicated IP address from another cluster host, you receive no response.

CAUSE: This issue is a single network interface card (NIC) limitation. If you are using a single NIC and have not selected the Windows NT Load Balancing Service (WLBS) multicast support, the cluster hosts will not be able to communicate with each other even though they can exchange network traffic with outside systems. Please note that on a cluster host with multiple NICs (multihomed), using the Virtual NIC to access the dedicated IP address (IP address bound to the virtual NIC but configured not to be load balanced) of another multihomed cluster host causes WLBS to consider this a single-NIC configuration

RESOLUTION: To resolve this issue, select multicast support in the WLBS Setup dialog box to eliminate this problem.

I want to share few things with you people and one important thing here is that the perfect way to Configure WLBS Using Multiple Network Interface Cards:

• In Control Panel, double-click Network and then click the Bindings tab.
• In the Show Binding For drop down list, select All Protocols.
• The bindings for all installed networking protocols can be displayed and modified in this dialog box. Note that WLBS Driver appears in the list of protocols. For each protocol, you can see the network interface cards, also known as adapters, to which each protocol is bound.
• Click the plus sign (+) to the left of each protocol to see the adapters to which it is bound. When the bindings are displayed, you will see a minus sign (-) to the left of the protocol.
