RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi

can an yone please help me ive got a slight problem, I have got an adsl router that is on dhcp, the only way that I can get internet on my Routerboard 800 is Setting up the DHCP client, which is a pain, so now I want to make the board a Static IP adress on eth1 which is connected to the router to get internet on the board, when I try to ping 196.25.1.1 on the board it gives me an error saying “no route to host” but if I ping 192.168.3.254 (Adsl modem) it replies.
I have created a NAT rule to masquerade and my dns is static(Router Adress)

Any help please? :astonished:

Did you insert a static default route via the ADSL modem?

Turn the DHCP client back on and look at the routing table after you received a lease. Emulate what you see there.

Without more details it is going to be very hard to offer more specifics, but here it goes.

I’m assuming the IP address that you have is the public IP address of your DSL modem. Since the DSL modem is giving you DHCP, chances are the modem is also a router, and is acting as such, therefor the IP you are trying to assign to the MikroTik is on the WAN of the modem.

Easiest solution for you is to contact your ISP and see if you need to set up a PPPoE client or if a static IP will work fine on your WAN interface of the MikroTik, and place the modem into transparent bridge mode.
