Mikrotik blocking WAN traffic

RouterOS General
1

Hello

I’m trying to get a network up and running using a Mikrotik as a gateway. Here’s basically how I have it set up. x.y.z.56/29 is public and 10.0.0.1/24 is my private network:

DSL Modem: x.y.z.57
Mikrotik Ether1: x.y.z.58
Mikrotik Ether2: 10.0.0.1/24
AP1: 10.0.0.50
AP2: 10.0.0.51

|DSL Modem|—Ether1—|Mikrotik|—Ether2—|AP 1|—WDS Link—|AP 2|

The problem is that I can’t get traffic from the local network (10.0.0.1/24) out past the Mikrotik. From anywhere on the local network, I can ping up to x.y.z.58, but not beyond that. From the Mikrotik itself, I can ping anywhere locally or outside.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? An example configuration of a similar network would be helpful if anyone can provide one or point me to any resources.

Thanks!

Jim

Did you set up NAT so that the router translates your private LAN IP addresses to something routable on the Internet?

/ip firewall nat
add chain=srcnat out-interface=ether1 action=masquerade

That did it! I had NAT set up slightly differently, and that was the problem. Thanks for the quick response! +karma
