hi,
i ve used mikrotik router in my different location. the vlan connection for me is managed my my isp.
i can only ping to my branch’s computer with its ip address but couldnot with its name. though i point my dns server i even couldn’t ping the server from its name by command prompt but it can ping from mikrotik router. can you help me out from this ?

show some examples (copy from command line, or make screnshots) so we know what you are pinging and what is the answer

thanks for the replay,
now i m in my branch office whose ip rage is of 192.168.32.0, and my other office’s range is 192.168.33.0 i can ping the computers of head office by their ip address but not with their name.

eg. when i ping a computer named ITDEPT whose ip is 192.168.32.2 with its ip from the computer HRDEPT whose ip is 192.168.33.2, it gives me replay.
but when i ping the same computer with its name i.e ITDEPT, from HRDEPT couldn’t find the computer with its name.
…i hope you 've got it ?

Try this to check dns in the command line
:put [:resolve myserver.mydomain.com]
or in your case
:put [:resolve ITDEPT]

ADD :if you want to use that name like that (just ITDEPT), and it doesn’t resolve with your current dns, try this:
/ip dns static
add name=ITDEPT address=192.168.32.2

sorry my friend,
i tried it earlier. It can only ping ITDEPT from newterminal of Mikrotik. but could not from cmd promt of my computer. what i understand from it is the router can now find the ITDEPT but still the computer couldn’t find the ITDEPT.

So look at the DNS configuration on the computer. What is the DNS server? Is it answering queries? If it’s the RouterOS router, is allow-remote-requests set to ‘yes’ in the IP > DNS section? Are you filtering out udp/53 in the ‘input’ chain? Do you have a route to the DNS server on your computer if it isn’t directly connected?
