basic setup help.

RouterOS General
1

so im trying to setup a mikrotik as a basic router for internet sharing. I followed the guide on the wiki here: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Internet_Sharing

im able to ping out from the mikrotik, log into the mikrotik internally and externally, and im getting a local ip 10.0.0.2 from the router on a pc behind it properly. what i am not able to do is ping out or browse from the pc behind the mikrotik.

Im sure i forgot something dumb. is there something missing in that guide? and yes, i did set dns, pc is getting the right servers via dhcp.

Did you set the default gateway in “/ip route”?
add gateway=xx.xx.xx.xx

Did you set a masquerade in “/ip firewall nat”?
add chain=srcnat action=masquerade out-interface=ether1

Change xx.xx.xx.xx and out-interface to fit your setup. There isn’t much more than that.

yup 0.0.0.0/0 is 139.142.x.x

masq is

0 chain=srcnat action=masquerade src-address=10.0.0.0/24
out-interface=ether1

ether 1 is the WAN port. ether 2 is the lan.

Are your ip addresses and netmasks correct in “/ip address”?

lol, yup, i knew it was something stupid. i forgot to add a network for dhcp. it was handing out a wrong netmask and no gateway without it. got it going now. thx.
