We currently are double NAT’d once at the office, and the second time at the tower. Im trying to figure out how to setup the HOTSPOT without NAT. I know when you start setup there is a check box. I unchecked it but still didnt work.
I set the Gateway in ROUTES to 192.168.1.1 and it shows ETH1 and Im able to ping from the mikrotik out to the internet but connections on the hotspot dont get pass the Mikrotik Hotspot IP.
Only way I could get it to pass through was enable Transparent Proxy, but that only allowed web pages. couldnt ping, etc..
OK, im trying to use the Routerboard as a speed control only. went with hotspot since it was easiest to setup and if a customer doesnt pay we can disable there MAC and they would get a “Your account is suspended” webpage.
The gateway in the office is doing the Routing. I just need the mikrotik to give out an IP to a user and limit there speed.
only problem is we use the MAC of the customer as to what we are speed controling. we use DHCP to give out IPs and that would be a pain to change. Is there no way of doing this with Hotspot?
Sure. Just don’t put the same network addressing on both sides of the Hotspot router. Pick a different subnet for the Hotspot. Then make sure the two routers have routes to each other’s networks.
Im sorry for being so dumb. Im not sure how to do that.
Heres what I have.
Load Balancer at office 6DSL Lines NAT to: 192.168.1.1 then I need to goto a Routerboard 493 at tower 1. What would I do from here? I will have to do the same thing for 3 other towers.
