Win2k Cluster configuration using 10/100 mbps NIC's

[Abid]

Hi !

I am looking for instructions to set up a 2-node Win2K
cluster configuration using just the network cards.

I have to setup Oracle9i RAC as part of a "proof of
concept" demo for a prospective client.

We have already done it in RH-linux AS 2.1 using a Single
node.

I know that it can be done ...

kindly guide me to the right doc.

I assume your looking for Cluster Service information and not NLB
information.
Cluster server requires shared storage NLB is just balancing of network
traffic.
However just in case I will try to include information for both:
For Cluster Service the most important network settings are described in
this document,
258750 Recommended Private "Heartbeat" Configuration on a Cluster Server
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258750

For NLB there are several documents that can be useful,
