I have just received an rb750 that I updated to 6.9. After the upgrade I went through the quick setup. I set up to dial through my adsl modem pppoe. It connects just fine but I can’t browse any websites. The rb750 is not resolving DNS. I can ping Internet ip addresses but not host names. I added the Google 8.8.8.8 dna server in the DNS settings. This also did not help. If i manually assign dns on individual pc DNS works. In have not changed anything else.
Anybody got some advise for me?
Thanks
I don’t know how your dhcp server on your localnet is setting up your dns. Check your dns server settings on computers getting the network settings from your router.
Then check your dhcp server settings.
/ip dhcp-server network
print
If there is no dns servers listed there, it may be using the router’s ip as the dns server. You can either set those to the correct dns ips, or allow the router to accept dns requests.
/ip dns
set allow-remote-requests=yes
If that works, you will probably need to enter a couple firewall rules to prevent dns access from your WAN interface.
Thanks for your reply. I am not sure what dns server they are getting at the moment. Not at home. I do know that allow remote requests is enabled. I have also seen the primary and secondary dns addresses from isp in the DNS settings. Will have a play when I get home and report back.
Every router I have gotten from Mikrotik has “allow-remote-requests=no” by default.
Ok. First thing I will check when I get home. Thanks
Ok. Found the problem. DHCP server was still set to hand out the default ip address of 192.168.88.1 even after changing the quick set up options.
Is there a reason why it doesn’t change this?
