    Hi Mateentaj;

    Do you want to configure NLB with between virtual machines or Hyper-V servers?


    I guess you want to configure a NLB between to virtual machines. If you use Unicast mode All virtual machines should have minimum two network adapter. One of them for NLB networking. Because NLB configuration is changing MAC address of netwrok adapter to the nlb MAC address.

    For NLB network adapter you should configure a "Enable spoofing of MAC addresses" option in to the virtual machine settings.

    Hello,

    I've had the best experience using unicast Windows NLB in conjunction with Hyper-V.  You'll need to enable MAC address spoofing for it to work.  If you intend to use multicast, you'll need to make the apprpriate switch / router changes.  Here is a procedure:
