Hey, thanks for the reply. Answers below:
1. What ips are your Internet-----Mikrotik-------ipcop-------LAN
IP addresses are: Internet 64.x.x.x, Mikrotik 192.168.88.1, ipcop red interface 192.168.88.x (dhcp assigned), ipcop green interface (lan) 10.x.x.x
2. So you saying that mikrotik(in & out interface) is in the same bridge?
Yes, i was wondering if this was a problem or not? I had asked a networking guy who works with it more than me and he had said it was fine that way.....
So if internet ip is 192.168.2.1 then mikrotik bridge is 192.168.2.2 and ipcop red is 192.168.2.3
If so then all you need to do is to let your isp or urself forward port 3389 to 192.168.2.250. Then create a alias in ipcop with ip 192.168.2.250 and use ipcop port forward to forward port 3389 from 192.168.2.250 to internalk ip address.I
I had noticed the option for aliases and tried adding one as you suggested, however, it did not work and it also caused internet access to go offline for some reason to my 10.x.x.x internal network.
3. Why would you want to put mikrotik between ipcop and internet if ipcop can do the same as mikrotik.
I wanted ipcop in behind mikrotik for the use of dansguard for content filtering. It would be nice if mikrotik did this, but I understand that mikrotik is more geared for routing.
Hope that answers your questions.
