Re: (PM) Multiple Pm2e on same Subnet

I currently have the PMs configured on the same subnet with diferent IP
addresses but the same netmask. I then have another subnet of 64 IPs which
I want to split between the two PMs for dial-ins. I put in 30 static routes
in my router to point to the first PM. Browsing works fine. As soon as I
add add start to add static routes for the second PM I cannot ping anything
from a dial-up station. What I have found is that if I do not add a static
route in my router to the PM, I cannot browse or ping. If I do a ping of an
address in the second PMs' pool it seems to get routed back to the first PM.
Does this have something do Broadcast or Listen on the PM? Do I need to put
anything in the PM routing table?

Thanks for the help!

Richard.
