Mikrotik Multiple internet gateway problem

RouterOS General
1

Hi Guys,

I have been using Mikrotik for a while now on our network, and have hit a wall with a configuration I am trying to implement.
We currently have two ADSL modems connected to our mikrotik with PPOE dial ups set up on the mikrotik. (Lets call this Mikrotik 1)

My current dilemma is as follows:

We have a second mikrotik ( lets call it mikrotik 2) device connecting to the internet via wireless, I would like to use on of the public ips on this wireless connection and configure it on mikrotik 1.

I have done the following,

1.Configure a free interface (Nic 1) on mikrotik 1 with the public ip ( I configured a laptop with same settings to test and was able to browse the internet)
2. Setup a default route for this interface (Route to subnet [Network] automatically inserted by mikrotik)
3. Added a masquerade rule to nat traffic on this interface.

After doing this I was able to ping all other hosts on the same subnet as (nic1)

I have tried in vain to route traffic over this interface to the internet.

Can anybody point me in the right direction, I might be missing some bits here :\

check whether you have other default routes on your MikroTik 1 router.

Hi Janisk

Thanks for the reply. We indeed do have default routes and use connection marking and routing marks. I have just created a routing mark for the new IP on mikrotik 1 and when i do a traceroute from Mikrotik1 using the newly created routing mark it works 100% but when i try and ping from my internal lan or the router itself it breaks, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi guys, I have reverted to another plan, as I have parked mikrotik as an option for now. If you have any help I would still like to get the setup working on the mikrotik. Thanks!
