Setting Up Networks, Continued

Verify that all network connections are correct, with private network adapters connected to other private network adapters only, and public network adapters connected to the public network. View the Network and Dial-up Connections screen to check the connections.

Note: Use crossover cables for the network card adapters that access the cluster nodes. If you do not use the crossover cables properly, the system will not detect the network card adapter that accesses the cluster nodes. If the network card adapter is not detected, then you cannot configure the network adapters during the Cluster Service installation.

However, if you install Cluster Service on both nodes, and both nodes are powered on, you can add the adapter as a cluster resource and configure it properly for the cluster node network in Cluster Administrator.
