Static Routing

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi

I am new to Mikrotik routers having worked a bit with Cisco. I am having problems with static routing. I have set up a simple test network using 2 PC’s and a RB433ah. the problem I have is that pc 1 can ping pc 2 but pc 2 cant ping pc 1. I have attached a simple schematic. The RB is default except for addresses and default route. I am at a loss as to what I have missed. Can someone put me straight please as this is really frustrating.

Check the gateway on the computer with 192.168.1.2/24. You are showing the gateway as 192.168.2.1.
It should be 192.168.1.1.

And the default route on the router should be
dst-address=0.0.0.0/0
You show
dst-address=0.0.0.0/24

Sorry both are typo’s.

The default route is 0.0.0.0/0 and the gateway on 192.168.1.2 is 192.168.1.1

If those are typos, then please post “/ip firewall nat” and “/ip firewall filter”.
I am going to ask first about the nat. If there is a rule like this

/ip firewall nat
chain=srcnat action=masquerade

Then disable it It might have more parameters, but in this case you want no srcnats or masquerades.

/ip firewall nat
disable X

[admin@MikroTik] /ip firewall nat> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
[admin@MikroTik] /ip firewall nat> ..
[admin@MikroTik] /ip firewall> filter
[admin@MikroTik] /ip firewall filter> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
[admin@MikroTik] /ip firewall filter>
