Hello, I have the cable modem attached to this via DHCP client. The port has the IP, the routes have been put in. However, I am not getting any TX from the cable modem, only RX. I know its something simple I am missing…
Thank you.
Please post /export compact

You masquerade rule is for 192.168.68.0/24 and your pool is **102.**168.68.20-192.168.68.2. You can remove the src address.
You ip address is also wrong. It should be
/ip address
add address 192.168.68.1/24 interface=Office-network network=192.168.68.0
Awesome! Thanks a million!
It was late and I was tired/frustrated. I knew it was a type or something simple.
Thanks again.
OK, so now I am taking the same setup from above and trying to load balance 2 cable WANs (they are both the same, 10MB by 2MB) using this method:
http://aacable.wordpress.com/2011/06/04/mikrotik-4-wan-load-balance-pcc-complete-script-by-zaib/
Both of the cable modems are handing out IPs in the same subnet with same gateway. So, I read that you can connect a router (cheap wireless router) to either of the WAN ports to make it work.
I cannot get it to go. Is there anything I need to do to the wireless router config to make this work?
It appears to be passing data only on one of the two WAN ports. But even still, web pages are painfully slow if they load at all.
If there is a different/better way to do this, I am open to try it.
Any advice would help much.
If it would help for me to post my config, please let me know.
Do you always get the same gateway from your provider?
yes. Right now it is dynamically assigned on both cable modems. I have 5 static IPs with the package (not using yet), but they also have the same gateway IP (for both modems).
Can someone please direct me to an example where this will work? I need load balancing for two WANs that are in the same subnet and have the same gateway.
Thank you.
OK, I am posting an export compact of my config. Perhaps someone can tell me what I am doing wrong:

These two lines have zero on all counters:
add chain=prerouting dst-address=74.193.252.0/22 in-interface=Office-network
add chain=prerouting dst-address=192.168.1.0/24 in-interface=Office-network
Any advice?
For your routes you will need to set your gateway to use a specific wan. For example if your gateway is 1.1.1.1 on ether2 your gateway would be 1.1.1.1%ether2
You will need to do this for each route for your load balancing.
