Excerpt from the LVS-Howto:

        If you don't have MS Lookback Adapter Driver installed on
        your NT boxes, enter Network Control Panel, click the
        Adapter section, click to add a new adapter, select the
        MS Loopback Adapter. Your NT cdrom is needed here.

        Then add your VIP (Virtual IP) address on the MS Loopback
        Adapter, do not enter a gateway address on the Loopback
        Adapter. Since the netmask 255.255.255.255 is considered
        invalid in M$ NT, you just accept the default netmask,

Did you try to configure it as written above? If yes, could you give us
more information on your setup (VIP, RIP, NT-Version).
