Step 10
The next prompt asks if you want to use
each port's protocol information as the
primary address for the array. If this is
the primary IP of the machine you want
advertised to clients, select Yes.
Otherwise, select No and continue
adding the other ports to the array. You
can change the IP address of the array
later. When finished, click OK.
Step 11
Close the Networking Control Panel
applet. When prompted, reboot your
machine for the new settings to take
effect.
NOTE: All available ports or adapters
must be assigned to an array. If
you do not want load balancing
or failover for a single port,
assign it to a separate array by
itself.

and select the Protocols tab.
Step 13
a) Select TCP/IP and click the Properties button.
b) Review the IP address configuration for the "D-Link Virtual Adapter."
The Virtual Adapter acts like a single adapter to NT but is actually the array of
adapters. The IP address that is configured here is the server's IP address that will
be advertised to the network.
c) Verify that the information is correct and click OK when finished.
d) To test that everything is set up properly, have multiple clients ping the address
for the Virtual Adapter.
