OK so I have an isp modem , they configured it at bridge mode.
they gave a static ip
example
ip - 223.178.222.199 (223.178.222.199/24)
subnet - 255.255.255.0
GW - 223.178.222.1
dns - 8.8.8.8
when i wire directly on to my computer and put these ip addresses the internet works and i am able to ping the gatway (223.178.222.1)
.
the isp router ip is 192.168.2.1 and dhcp is on but unless i put the static ips on the computer the internet does not work. so far so good
in mikroik put the wire to wan 1 and give it in addresses ip 223.178.222.199 and network 223.178.222.0
make a srcnat nat entry.
in routes 0.0.0.0/0 and put gateway 223.178.222.1(unreachable)
Wrong question by previous poster.
Correct response…
Please provide full config.
/export file=anynameyouwish ( minus router serial number and any real public WAN information )
I will note your explanation is contradictory?? On one hand you state that the ISP device is giving you a public IP and in the next sentence you state the ISP device is giving you a private LANIP.
if i connect it to mikrotik and leave auto detect then the pc gets private ip from the router. but this same router , same lan port lan4 connected to computer and private ip of the router, opens the router but does make the internet work. but in the pc, if the public ips are filled in, it works.
there was some routing problem with the isps end and now the same config works after they reconfigured their end router i think.
