Phendry, can you possibly post your config?
I'm having issues - one router does not seem to transmit the VRRP advertisements... Not quite sure if it's my gear or not (swears @ VMWare)
Router 1:
# aug/14/2007 00:27:20 by RouterOS 3.0rc2
# software id = 4TPB-QRN
#
/interface vlan
add arp=enabled comment="" disabled=no interface="Internal Network" mtu=1500 name="VLAN0970" vlan-id=970

^^ Yes, NO arp entry for 198.19.3.3 :(
/ping 198.19.3.3
198.19.3.3 ping timeout
/interface vrrp print detail
96 RM name="VRRP - VLAN0970" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:00:5E:00:01:61 arp=enabled interface=VLAN0970 vrid=97 priority=255 interval=1 preemption-mode=yes

Looking at packet dumps, I see VRRP Advertisements from 198.19.3.2 -> 224.0.0.18, but no traffic from 198.19.3.3 -> 224.0.0.18... Argh!!!
