configuration question

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi,

I have a question about a configuration.

provider router ----- (interface1)mikrotik(interface5) ------ server(multiple virtual servers with public ip addresses)

I want to use mikrotik just as a firewall and I wanted to ask if I can assign just one public ip address to mikrotik?
the two interfacess would be in a bridge (of something like that).
so, the provider router has a public ip address(10.0.0.1), mikrotik one (10.0.0.2), and the server has like four (10.0.0.3-10.0.0.6).
just to be clear, there are no private ip addresses involved.

is that configuration ok?

In such setup, yes you can simply bridge ether1 and ether5 and assign public ip address directly to the server.

thaks for your response.
so the mikrotik does not acctualy need an ip address then?
how can I than access mikrotik remotly?

if you want to access mikrotik, then you need IP address on router, too. Just add one of the public addresses to the bridge interface and you will be able to access the router.

thaks mrz..

the thin is.. I have already configured it like that.. but there is a problem on server.. most web pages cannot be open.. and I don’t know why..
i can open like google, firefox(start page).. but when I try bing.com, msn.com or some other pages, they just won’t open.. the DNS is correct.. it resolves the addresses..
it seems to me like the packets doesn’t come back to the server..
the servers have connection to the internet, i can access them remotely..
I thought that the mikrotik configuration is wrong, but obviously isn’t..

any idea what could be the problem?
