Is there any way someone could send me a user quide on how to setup the firewall with common ports like msn, p2p, https, http etc. in a local lan with pppoe wan connection. Just the basics!
Thanks in advance.
HI ;
check the following link for a firewall setting , sure you will need to re program them as you need where not all what you read fit you .

put in your mind if you used all the rules in the link you will not be able to login your MT through the winbox using the ip and you will need to use the mac of the lan to login .
with best regards .
Greetings!
The docs have good info on this also.

The “Protect your RouterOS router” is essential!
The “Protecting the customer’s network” is good for examples of the rest you want.
In the “Protect your router” section, you will find this line:
add chain=input src-address=192.168.0.0/24 action=accept
You may change the IP address and/or add as many of these after this as you want. This allows the 192.168.0.x net access into this router with Winbox, ssh, FTP, etc. The order in this list is very important.
