Verifying network connectivity and names resolution

Verify network connectivity and names resolution after you have installed clustering
on the joining node.
To verify that the private and public networks are communicating properly:
1. Click Start → Run, type cmd in the text box, and click OK to bring up an
2. Type ping ipaddress where ipaddress is the IP address for the corresponding
For example, assume that the IP addresses are set as follows:
In this example, you would type ping 192.168.1.12 and ping 192.168.2.12 for the
first node, and you would type ping 192.168.1.13 and ping 192.168.2.13 for the
joining node. You can do this from any machine that is physically connected to the
network of each node.
To view the addresses, use the ipconfig command on each node:
1. Click Start → Run, type cmd in the text box, and click OK to bring up an
