Recommended NIC speed for NLB on windows 2003
Hello,
I have an NLB with two Windows 2003 hosts. NIC speed on these hosts is set to Auto-detect meaning (10/100 auto) though the NIC's are gig NIC's. I kind of remember there was a recommendation for NLB to not use 1000 full with Windows 2003. Is it true or I
am just thinking about soemthing else?
Thanks in advanceTom

Hi Tom,
Thanks for posting here.
It should not problem to deploy NLB on a gigabit network and we have tested it:

Could you post the link of recommendation that you read or the book name and page number here?
