Windows 2003 NLB issue

My terminal services client keeps disconnecting when I am connected to the Virtual IP. If  I connect to the static IP, NO problem.

The server is configured with Win 2003 advanced server, 1 dual port NIC using teaming.  NLB is bound to the team IP.

I have no issues when NLB isn't used.

Thanks

Another option would be to do a network monitor of the network connection if you've run out of options to troubleshoot. Something like Ethereal (www.ethereal.com) or Windows built-in network monitor.
Btw, when you do NLB, both ports have to have the exact same settings, ie. speed/duplex have to be the same.

This white paper discusses how to plan and deploy a load balanced Terminal Server farm using session directory and how the session directory operates in a load balanced environment.

This MS article should help you set up TS on NLB correctly: -
