multiple Ethernet slots (Incoming and Outgoing). Thus far, I have been unable
to do so. I have both interfaces within the same subnet. OSPF is running on
both slots. I have placed a static route in place, and was able to have traffic
split across both cards outgoing. I am only able to have the traffic come in
across the Ethernet card in slot 3 however.</span></font></p>

the WAN (Dialup Connections) connections have ‘RTE FIX’
beside them, implying static routes to these connections and they are all
statically coming thru the Ethernet card in slot 3. Thus far, I have been
unable to determine where this is set, so as to have it changed to be an OSPF
entry, as it may very well be the reason incoming traffic for my dialup traffic
only comes thru slot 3. When slot 3 is not connected, my clients are unable to
browse, they lose connectivity.</span></font></p>
