well i can recive dhcp from the mikrotik board on a vista os but when i share file or folder on vista i can not get on to it with onther computer on other router i can t even get on remotely i have enabled remote services enabled remote in firewall and all other enable’s need but nuting any one got idea why?
Not enough info here for me to see how your system is set up.
What ip subnet is assigned to router 1 localnet?
What ip subnet is assigned to router 2 localnet?
What ip subnet is on both router’s WAN interfaces?
mikrotik releases 192.168.1.2 /24 subnet 255.255.255.0 default gate way 192.168.1.254
all ip’s direct from mikrotik board after log on.
on bother pc’s and share and enable of remote can’t access the vista computer but can access the windows 2003 server computer
Just to insure I understand:
Both localnets are assigned the same ip subnet (192.168.1.0/24). That will be tough route! Each router probably masquerades the private ips as a public ip to hide each of those subnets from the internet (and each other).
dude their only one router which is the mikrotik router board and all pc’s connect to it direct so i dunno what ur on about
It was pretty reasonable to assume there’s two networks. If there’s only one network the router plays no role in traffic between machines on that same network. So where are you trying to access the file share from? The WAN?
Dude, I have no idea where I got the idea there were two routers…
let me re-explain i have a server 2003 that with dual lan ports which recives internet and then shares it to the mikrotik board i can login to my hotspot browse on the internet etc i can logon to the server from onther computer i can ftp into the server but i can login to the stadlone vista computer from the windows server 2003.
I think I understand. Correct me if I am wrong.
The Windows server is between the MT router WAN port and the internet.
The Windows Vista computer is on the MT router LAN port.
You can login to the Windows server from the Vista computer, but can’t connect to the Vista computer from the Windows server.
How am I doing so far?
My next request will probably be show me
/ip address print
so I can see the address on the wan port. Should be a localnet address not in the same subnet as the lan interface.
ADD: I am way out of practice on Windows servers. Are you capable of entering a route in the Windows server? In MikroTik it would be:
/ip route
add gateway=xx.xx.xx.xx dst-address=192.168.1.0/24
Replace the xx.xx.xx.xx with the wan address on the MT router.
