4.3.6.2 Setting the Bind Order for Network Adapters
In Windows Networking Properties, the public network connection on each node must be listed first in the bind order (the order in which network services access the node). The private network connection should be listed second.
The names used for each class of network adapter (such as public) must be consistent across all nodes. You can use nondefault names for the network adapter, for example,
PublicLAN, if the same names are used for the same class of network adapters on each node in the network.
- Right click My Network Places and choose Properties.
- In the Advanced menu, click Advanced Settings.
- If the public network connection name is not the first name listed under the Adapters and Bindings tab, then select it and click the arrow to move it to the top of the list.
- Click OK to save the settings and then exit the network setup dialog.
