Setting Up the First Node in Your Cluster

To clarify the network connection, you can change the name of the Local
Area Connection (2). Renaming helps you identify the connection and
correctly assign it. Follow these steps to change the name:
1. Right-click on the Local Area Connection 2 icon.
2. Click on Rename.
3. In the text box, type
Private Cluster Connection
and press Enter.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to change the name of the public LAN
network adapter to Public Cluster Connection.
5. The renamed icons look like those in the picture above. Close the
Networking and Dial-up Connections window. The new connection
names automatically replicate to other cluster servers as the servers
are brought online.
To set up the first node in your cluster:
1. Right-click on My Network Places, then click on Properties.
2. Right-click the Private Connection icon.
3. Click on Status. The Private Connection Status window shows the
connection status, as well as the speed of connection.
If the window shows that the network is disconnected, examine
cables and connections to resolve the problem before proceeding.
4. Click on Close
5. Right-click Private Connection again
6. Click on Properties.
7. Click on Configure.
8. Click on Advanced. The network card adapter properties window
displays.

the network, rather than the default automated speed selection.
