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
