hello all… I followed the example for EoIP setup, created PPTP tunnel, configured EoIP, and enabled bridging, but I can’t ping between routers. I changed MACs to the range specified, and made sure PPTP and GRE traffic is allowed on both sides. Tried adding routes, including default route option, but I’m not sure if this is where I’ve gone wrong. Ultimately I want a basic local / remote office setup, with the remote users pulling DHCP etc. Looking at my interfaces in winbox I do not see any Rx traffic on either EoIP or pptp. Am I missing something obvious?
what addresses did you use on the pptp server and remote side?
Are you using the same tunnel ID on both ends (EoIP) ? And are those endpoint IPs from the above question ?

On the local side, the PPTP server, I’m using the “caller ID” address of 76.126.xx.xx On the remote side [PPTP client] I used a “server” address of 63.194.xx.xx The tunnel ID is 0 on both ends. Slight variations in Winbox, but I went through the initial setup via command-line. The local side right now is just a static DSL to the router to a switch and to a laptop. The remote side is my home network, a Small business Server, etc. Once I make it work I’ll change the ip’s.
on your ppp profile you need to assign a network to the ppp network : ) use something like 10.0.0.1 (server) and 10.0.0.2 (client). Then you can establish your EoIP tunnel across those two IPs. As it currently is it sounds like your trying to get EoIP to work outside of the tunnel and its probably not going to work that way.

Thank you! I am always confused by the usage of what I consider “internal” IP’s, [192.168] which are referring to something else… anyway, I’ve got that sorted out, but now I need to back up another step, because the part below didn’t work for me;
[admin@Remote] interface eoip> add name=“eoip” tunnel-id=0
... remote-address=10.0.0.1
[admin@Remote] interface eoip> enable eoip-main << I was unable to use this syntax…?
[admin@Remote] interface eoip> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 name=eoip mtu=1500 arp=enabled remote-address=10.0.0.1 tunnel-id=0
I’ll work on it some more this weekend, even if I have to start over.
