Question : Ultramonkey and load balancing Windows 2008

We have successfully tested using Windows XP as a node with Ultramonkey. Ultramonkey sees the server and can connect and will load balance with XP. We have tried to use Windows 2008 Server as a node but it will not load balance. We are not sure what the possible cause may be. Has anyone had this particular problem?

Answer : Ultramonkey and load balancing Windows 2008

Windows 2008 servers:
Install loopback interface and give it the shared ip.

the internet connection ip is called net here (interface name) and the loopback device is renamed to "loopback"

To allow the server to send as the loopback apapter on another NIC you need to use this:

netsh interface ipv4 set interface "net" weakhostreceive=enabled
netsh interface ipv4 set interface "loopback" weakhostreceive=enabled
netsh interface ipv4 set interface "loopback" weakhostsend=enabled
