excuse my ignore if i’ve missed something i’m a newbie to mikrotik software …
for some reason my p4 computer with version 4.3 software installed won’t grab an ip by dhcp from my cable provider … what could be wrong or have i not setup correctly …
I got my mk software installed and running on a older p4 puter, ( lost count of how many times it re-installed thinking there was an error) fine persay, but for some reason it won’t pick up a dynamic ip address from cable provider … everything else seems to work fine as far as it goes…
it’s wierd becuz when i plug the linksys router back in it grabs it instantly but mk keeps saying it’s searching .. i followed the instructions on this page exactly …
/ip dhcp-client add interface=Public disabled=no
•Add your private network address to ether2(local1) interface, for example:
/ip address add address=192.168.1.1/24 interface=Local1
/ip address add address=192.168.2.1/24 interface=Local2
•Configure masquerading for your local network:
/ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat src-address=192.168.1.0/24 action=masquerade
/ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat src-address=192.168.2.0/24 action=masquerade
/ip firewall filter
add chain=input connection-state=established comment=“Accept established connections”
add chain=input connection-state=related comment=“Accept related connections”
add chain=input connection-state=invalid action=drop comment=“Drop invalid connections”
add chain=input protocol=udp action=accept comment=“UDP” disabled=no
add chain=input protocol=icmp limit=50/5s,2 comment=“Allow limited pings”
add chain=input protocol=icmp action=drop comment=“Drop excess pings”
add chain=input in-interface=Local1 src-address=192.168.1.0/24 comment=“From our LAN” action=accept
add chain=input in-interface=Local2 src-address=192.168.2.0/24 comment=“From our LAN” action=accept
add chain=input action=log log-prefix=“DROP INPUT” comment=“Log everything else”
add chain=input action=drop comment=“Drop everything else”
/ip dhcp-server setup
