Hi tdw,
No the dns does not resolve to any valid ip for a given domain.
Also i reset the Mikrotik and tried using its default configuration and tried configuring as per your instruction.
Here are some of the outputs

The moment i configure it and clone the MAC there is this change
/ip address
add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment=defconf interface=ether2 network=192.168.88.0
while before configuring it was
/ip address
add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment=defconf interface=bridge network=192.168.88.0
So after adding the bridge interface using
/ip address
add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment=defconf interface=bridge network=192.168.88.0
i get two items in the /ip address option
add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment=defconf interface=ether2 network=192.168.88.0
add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment=defconf interface=bridge network=192.168.88.0
I then remove the first using
/ip address remove number=0
The system then loses it ip address becomes 0.0.0.0 but upon restart the mikrotik router again hands out dhcp leases
Here is the output after address change

So now at a loss as to what could be the issue. Is there and configuration issues at ISP end or am I missing some particular setting?
Is it possible for the PPPoE connection to be on the TPLink but configure a VPN client on the mikrotik so that the PC can connect via the VPN?
Thanks and regards
