Load balancing on web servers

[rmnwc555]

We are still having internet connection problems with our 2 web servers. They are load balanced, and when we turn both NICs on, with load balancing enabled, we start losing internet connectivity. But if we disable one of the web servers, and just run on one, we have internet connection. Has anybody had similar problems with load balancing and internet connection using 2 load balanced servers?

We are still trying to find the problem, but, it is possible we might have found it. A service pack update for Windows Server 2003 might have caused our network connectivity problems. If this is true, then Microsoft is the Matthew Mcconaughey of software. Isn't a service pack supposed to HELP you?

Here's the link:

"You may experience network-related problems after you install Windows Server 2003 SP2

or the Scalable Networking Pack on a Windows Server 2003-based computer"

The problem is Broadcom's implementation of offloading against the spec, not the code that allows access to it from the service pack, but you blame whomever you'd like if it makes you feel better .
