Hi all,
I have a MikroTik RB751g-2hnd router. I have upgraded it to version 5.19 of the router OS.
I have a DSL modem router in bridge mode which is connected to ether1 on the router. My ISP uses PPPOE so I have configured the PPPOE client. The PPPOE link is up. I have added static leases for the DNS servers since I want to use open dns.
My situation is as follows.
If I pping any domain, I can see the ip address of that domain as in the ping shows ping domain name and its ip address. However, The router responds with destinnation net unreachable. Pinging just an IP address results in a timeout. My desktop is connected to ether2 and I can ping the router successfully. I did enable network address translation on the quick setup screen.
The only other change I have made is that I have created a separate administrater user on the router and am doing my configuration through that user. The default user is also active and both users are password protected.
I have checked the logs and can see nothing wrong.
What am I missing?

Hi all,
Things have moved on since I posted this message. I have been successful in connecting the router to my setup. The problem was the NAT rule. When I first got the router, I had tried to manually configure things. I then upgraded the firmware and tried a number of things after that. The result of all this was that I had two PPPOE interfaces created. I suspect the NAT rule got fouled when I deleted the PPPOE interface it was mapped too.
So, I set the router to factory settings and then filled out the quick setup screen. I then went into the CLI via telnet and set the NAT rule and the static DNS I wanted. Things are running now so I can take things forward.
Thanks to the moderator for approving the post.
What do you have in IP → Routes ?
Nick.
Did you set any nat rules for pppoe masquerading?

PL] Hi Nick, I have sorted the problem. The problem lay in my initially trying to configure things manually. I had 2 pppoe interfaces configured and the nat was mapped to the wrong one. This occured with version 5.11. I am not sure what happened during the upgrade but the trick with 5.19 was to reset everything to factory defaults and then to follow the wizzard. I then tracked the problem down to these 2 pppoe interfaces.
