Renaming the teamed connection
The assigned name for the new NIC team connection is “Local Area Connection X,” where X represents
the next available connection number generated by the system. HP recommends changing this name to
a more meaningful name, such as “NIC Team.”

1.
From the desktop, right-click the
My Network Places
icon, and then click
Properties
.
2.
Move the cursor over each connection icon to view the pop up box of the icon's name. Locate
HP Network Teaming Virtual Miniport
.
3.
Right-click the connection icon for
HP Network Teaming Virtual Miniport
, and then click
Rename
. Enter a name that is more descriptive than “Local Area Connection X,” such as “NIC
Team.”
Showing a connection icon on the taskbar
To show a connection icon:
1.
In the
Network and Dial up Connections
screen, double-click the
NIC Team
connection,

At the bottom of the screen, select
Show icon in task bar when connected
, and then click
Close

Configuring the TCP/IP protocol on the new team
After teaming the NICs, a new virtual network adapter for the team is automatically created. However, by
default the new adapter is set to DHCP. To manually configure the IP address, perform the following steps.

1.
From the desktop, go to the
