Hotspot server problem with complex architecture.
Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2012 1:14 pm
Hey there. I am trying to enable a hotspot server in an architecture I have. First I tried to implement a portal server on another router (Huawei) but it was very complex. So, I figured why not getting a mikrotik router to get the job done. As I said the architecture is very complex (one might say unnecessary) but it's due to change of Internet Provider. Here is a pic of what I am talking about.
Right now the mikrotik router is not there.
First of all, I was wondering if something like this is even possible ?
Secondly,just to try it, I have connected one router (with interface to IP cloud) and another mikrotik router(with local network via ethernet )on which I've set up the hotspot server. When I start the browser, I get the login page and I authenticate, the ping to 8.8.8.8 works good, but I can't seem to enter any sites. When I go to google.com, for example, I get the status from the hotspot over and over again. I am guessing there is something wrong with the DNS. I will continue trying but if anyone has any input pls help. Thank you
