Hi All
Need help if got a client that has wireless internet at home and work that I supply thru a high site.
Now the client wants me to set it up that if he pres on net work explorer that he will be able to see works computer and the ip address must be the same.
Is this doable
If you’re using PPPoE for your internet connections, you can use IP addresses on your client’s home and office to connect them on a ‘virtual LAN’ - Of course there are some security risks.
Alternatively (And this is one option that I’ve implemented for a client) is to set up their CPE to also be able to handle an incoming PPTP connection. You can then tunnel from your client computer to the office network.
In the setup that I made for them, I have two ADSL links on both sides, running PPPoE, with two separate providers, and Dynamic IP addresses. On the one end I have a client, and on the other end I have a branch of the client’s office in a different town. I put down an RB150 running PPTP server to dial into. Works great. I’m sure you can set up a Mikrotik CPE to run both PPPoE Client and PPTP server.
k at the moment i am runing the system on wds and the clinet connect bothe to the high site.
need to let the client connect to his home computer so if he pres on my home network his works pc wil be sowing PLEASE HELP I AM LOST > And reverse aswell?

Look at the Mikrotik Wiki for VPN. It is also in the ROS manual, VPN /PPTP. This has the setup on ‘how to’ set up a VPN so the two computers ‘appear’ to be on the same network.
Instruct your user to use Hamachi. It is free and does the job (he may see other computers in Hamachi network in Network Neighborhood. . You cannot provide such functionality.
did the eoip thing with router that i have at home .
when i tunnel from one to other. then i can see the other computer on router 1 side and when from router 2 can see computer on router 1 side so it must be double but i can’t get it to work from router 1 to router 3 router , router2 is my high site one all other client connect to as well
===CLIENT HOME
main internet connection > NetstreamTo > highsite === other clients

You are just not giving us enough info to help you out.
What we need is - config client home , config highsite, config client work. This would include IP addresses, routing, any src / dst nat rules and any filter rules that drop or re-direct traffic.
What you are asking for is simple but if you don’t provide the info most of us will just point you back to the manual which has generic examples for you to use.
As I said in one of my earlier posts - use VPN, that will connect the two computers via tunnel to each other, safe and secure…

Using a VLAN does work very good in these circumstances - however I don’t use VLAN this way so if you go in that direction you’ll need someone else to help you.
Page 320 of the MT ROS 2.9 manual describes how to setup VPN on a windows machine.
VPN puts you on the same network as the computer you want. Connecting to it - well I am not sure what / how you need to connect to it. Are you doing just file sharing or are you going to use some sort of Peer to Peer connection, or what?
