self assigned ip problem

hi
i have a little ip problem

i have a RB411 set up as client pseudobridge
i am using this to pick up a signal from a router running DD-wrt (repeater mode)
the RB411 is then connected to my macbook via lan

now i can connect to the dd-wrt repeater via my macbook airport no problem (good internet connection)

but when i connect via the macbook lan → RB411 → DD-wrt → internet

i get a problem, macbook tells me i have a self assigned ip and cant connect???

any help please

You can not get an ip from modem’s dhcp server.

  1. Make sure your bridge interface has both ether1 and wlan1 interface.

  2. put an ip (ex. 192.168.1.2/24) to your bridge interface.

  3. add a default gateway 192.168.1.1 and dns server 192.168.1.1

  4. and don’t create any dhcp server.

ok, sorry for being a complete noob here,

but how do i add a defauld gateway and dns server.

i have looked through the entire winbox interface but cant find it??

this is all so new to me

copy paste this in a new terminal

/ip route
add comment=Default_Gateway disabled=no distance=1 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 \
    gateway=192.168.1.1 scope=30 target-scope=10



/ip dns
set allow-remote-requests=yes cache-max-ttl=1w cache-size=4048KiB \
    max-udp-packet-size=4048 servers=192.168.1.1

thanks nick3dos for all your help up to now

i have been battling with this problem for a very long time now and you have been the only help so far

PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME NOW!!

could you please have a look at my setup and see if you can see a problem.
i dont have the self assigned ip problem anymore, but still cant connect.
my macbook however can connect straight to the dd-wrt repeater and get online?? but signal is weak

maybe i need to change some settings on the dd-wrt repeater?

i managed to setup default gateway with your code, but could not setup dns as it looked like there was a syntex error by SERVER, so i tried to do that manualy
