Need help with NAT (I think)

RouterOS General
1

I am just trying out RouterOS for the first time on a CPE (rb133c). I have a 900Mhz wireless system mostly running on pfSense. I got rOS to connect and get DHCP address on the WAN, and it is giving DHCP offers on the LAN. I have no firewall rules. So what’s happening is I get the client configured through DHCP, dns lookups work, and the client can ping the rb133. If the client trys to ping anything beyond the rb133 all packets get lost but the rb133 can ping anything on the WAN or LAN successfully. What do I need to do next, NAT? Also, I cannot quite figure out how NAT is supposed to work yet, rOS configuration is so different from standard linux! Any pointers?

Thanks,

Lawrence

Greetings!

Did you masquerade your LAN?

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

Thanks, that worked. Just had to change the interface for my purposes. Sometimes I think if it was plain linux I could get things done a lot faster than these GUI systems! Anyway, a great system doing exactly what I need.

Thanks,

Lawrence
