Tip
Check the Group Properties to verify
that the dedicated IP address has been
entered. If no address appears in the
Group Properties dialog box, enter one
to enable receive load balancing.
Cables may be disconnected, or there
may be other hardware problems.
Reconnect or change the cables. Correct
any other hardware problems.
Bidirectional load balancing is restored
after this type of failure when
applications create new connections and
new clients log in.
Check the event log for a duplicate IP
address. If another device is using a load
balancing group's dedicated IP address,
change one of the IP addresses. See
"Changing an IP
instructions.
Receive load balancing across a router is
not supported. Clients across the router
cannot use receive load balancing, but
clients within the subnet get higher
throughput from receive load balancing.
