beginner routing help

RouterOS Beginner Basics

I have my laptop connection through wifi to my mikrotik box using network 192.168.1.0/24.
I have another pc wired to the ethernet port of my mikrotik box using the fixed ip 192.168.178.2.

Now all I want to do is ping from my laptop with IP 192.168.1.24 to my pc with ip 192.168.178.2.

I tried a million different settings playing with the routes, but I never get through. I have also tried to search the wiki, but no answers. If someone could help me, it would be very highly appreciated.

Or am I looking in the wrong place and do I have to set something in my firewall?

Why have you got 192.168.1.0/24 for your laptop and 192.168.178.2 for other laptop, could you not have both on either 192.168.1.0/24 or 192.168.178.2/24

Both of the computers need to know to pass traffic to the router to get it beyond the local network, I’d suggest checking the computer with a static address first to see if it has a gateway address and if so try to run a trace route to the other machine rather than a ping to see where it is failing.

Hope this helps!

Ok I see. I will close this thread and open a new one with more specific details since I was asking a very simplified question.
