Sharepoint Services and NLB Error

Hi,
I have Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition with SP1 configured in a
NLB mode. SPS 2003 is running web and search components on these two
servers. Each of the Server is running the web and search component.
Sharepoint Services is runinng 6.02.6411 version. When I open a browser
and access the virtual IP address , it gives a login Pop-up and after
I put the correct credentials , it gives me a page not found error. If
I continue to refresh the page for couple times, the sharepoint portal
site loads of fine. The portal site is installed of the Default Web
Site and I have tried the Default Website running on both the virtual
IP and the ALL unassigned in IIS.
But whenever I access the sharepoint portal site by accessing a
particular node, it works fine.

To make sure that NLB is working fine, I created a generic site with a
html page and its works fine.

The problem lies in accessing through the Virtual IP address.

Has anyone come across such a problem ?

Despite your subject line claiming this is SharePoint Services, your text
clearly indicates that this is a question about a SharePoint Portal Server
2003 installation.

The nesgroup for those questions is

microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver

please post SPS 2003 questions there.
