Hi Matt,
Have you seen the following article?

Another possibility could be, that you're connecting them to a Layer 3 (L3)
switch instead of a Layer 2 (L2) switch. If it is indeed a L3 switch, try
hooking them up to a hub then uplink the hub to the switch. See the
following reference link below.
193602 Configuration options for WLBS hosts connected to layer 2 switches
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=193602
Try the following:
First, configure NLB on one NIC of the Node. Physical connection of this
NIC is very important. If you are using a Layer 3 switch you will need to
plug the NIC into a hub then uplink the hub to the L3 switch. If you are
using a Layer 2 switch you can plug the NIC directly into a port on the hub.
There is a registry setting called MaskSourceMac that needs to correspond to
the physical connection of the NLB NIC. If you are plugged directly into
the L2 switch you will need to set MSM=1. If you are using a hub that is up
linked to the switch set MSM=0 (see article ID: 193602)
If you want traffic to come into the NLB NIC then all subsequent traffic to
go out of the second (non-NLB) NIC, set the binding order and metric of the
NLB NIC to 2. As a result, you will need to set the binding order and
metric for the second (non-NLB) NIC to 1.
The Default Gateway, in a two NIC scenario, is a key setting. If you check
IPCONFIG and you notice that the Default Gateway is set on both NICs and is
a different IP address, this will cause problems. We recommend you pick one
Default Gateway and set it on the second NIC (non-NLB) NIC, leaving the
Default Gateway setting on the NLB NIC blank.
