Cluster @#$ked

I inherited an MS Cluster (2 node) that needs some help. As long as node1 i
s live, it works fine, but when if fails over, the web server pointed to the
virtual server gets nothing back. As far as the cluster is concerned, ever
ything works fine and node2
can even send data to/from the SQL Server. Anyone have any ideas what is ha
ppening? If not, is there some way for me to find out if the server was ins
talled out of order or wrong?
Thanks

Amateur Superhero1. Can anyone connect to the SQL server when it is failed over?... If so,
that means that the SQL is working..
2. Then ensure that the Web server is truly pointing to the virtual server,
and that the web server is running..

you 100% sure it is using the Virtual server's name and not an IP address?
