Setting Up Teaming in Microsoft Windows*

NOTE: Adapter Teaming options for Windows NT 4.0 require Service Pack 6a or later. 
NOTE: Intel Teaming is compatible with Microsoft Network Load Balancing (NLB/WLBS) running on Windows NT 4.0 Server, Windows 2000, and Windows XP when in multicast mode only.
  1. Start Intel® PROSet II as described in Using Intel® PROSet II
    If Intel PROSet II is not installed see Running the Installer page.

  2. Choose an adapter in the left panel and right-click the mouse to start Teaming Wizard.

  3. Complete the Teaming Wizard to add adapters to each team.

  4. See the Intel PROSet II help for additional information.

  5. To finish, you must click OK to close Intel PROSet II when the wizard is done. Changes will not apply until you click OK in the main Intel PROSet window. 

NOTE: If you wish to set VLANs on a team, you must first set up the team.
NOTE: If you are updating the base driver on a system that has one or more teams defined, you must update Intel PROSet first, then update the base driver. 

Add an Adapter to an Existing Team

  1. In the Network Component Tree in Intel PROSet II, right click on a Team Listing.

  2. In the menu that appears, click Add Adapter to Team, and then select the adapter you want to add.

  3. Be sure to match offloading and other feature settings for all adapters in the team.

Removing a Team

  1. In the Network Component Tree in Intel PROSet II, right click on a Team Listing.

  2. In the menu that appears, click Remove.

  3. A confirmation message appears. Click Yes.

NOTE: If you defined a VLAN or QoS Prioritization on an adapter joining a team, you may have to redefine it when it is returned to a standalone mode. 
NOTE:  On NT 4.0 computers, some advanced features such as SNMP or GVRP might blue screen. This is an operating system limitation. To avoid system instability, do not configure advanced features in NT 4.0.
