cannot ping by hostname

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi,

I cannot ping by hostnames, only from the router’s terminal. I would like to connect to a raspberry by its hostname not with IP address.
How to configure the DHCP in the router?

Thank you

DHCP will not allow you to ping via hostname. For that you will need to setup some type of DNS. You can read up on the Mikrotik Wiki about creating DNS records or you can go the route of a DNS server.

If you want to ping host or PC names you can use WINs servers and set it in DHCP network settings.
