edit: the configuration below is working now since I ran winbox.exe as administrator in Win8.1. If I simply ran winbox without clicking “run as administrator”, the following config would not work. Anyone else had similar problems?
Been banging my head on the router for days. Any help would be much appreciated.
My setup:
DSL static IP + /29
Modem connected to RB connected to 2 PCs running Windows
What I need: Giving each PC a permanent unique public IP
Let’s say my static IP is 1.1.1.1 and subnet is 2.2.2.2
In the router, here’s what I did (and failed):
-
Started with a clean config
-
PPP → new PPPoE Client → entered my user and pass → chose ether1 as interface.
My static IP automatically showed up in the address list -
Bridge → made bridge1 (didn’t set anything else)
-
Bridge → ports → Added ether2, ether3, ether4 to bridge1
-
IP → Addresses → Added 2.2.2.3/29 to bridge1
-
IP->Firewall → input:accept; forward:accept
At this point, I no long have internet connection, and go in Windows to change IPv4 properties:
IP Address: 2.2.2.4
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.248
Default Gateway: 2.2.2.3
Preferred DNS: 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS: 8.8.8.4
Still no internet and no idea what to do. Thanks for any help.
