Hello,

Suppose this:

Host W2K Adv Server
Guest W2K Adv Server
Bridged networking
W2K SP4 installed
VMWare 4
2 Nics

I have,for testing purposes, set up NLB on one NIC. Dedicated IP is
192.168.5.201, Primary (virtual IP) is 192.168.5.200.

Result:
I can ping .201 from the outside world (the guest)
I cannot ping .200 form the outside world.

The result of the "wlbs display" command is a follows:

How come I am unable to ping 192.168.5.200 which is the virtual address ?

Thanks,
