I was getting multiple (10-20) WLBS messages along with system freezes on my
3-node NLB cluster. After examining every possible step and scenario, I
disabled the 'checksum offloading' on the NIC card, and have seen 100% uptime
for 5 weeks straight now. Whether it was the Broadcom driver or Win2003 I
don't know, but I hope this helps the others out there with strange errors
and system stability.
