Hello, I am Alessandro, from Rome, Italy.
I just installed my RB2011UiAS-2HnD with ROS 6.40.3, it will become my office primary router, I have now a cisco RW220 that I want to dismiss.
In the Cisco router I have a wan input from provider1 I have also another wan from provider2 connected to ether6 of my Mikrotik router (192.168.2.0/24).
In the cisco switch I have all my local lan (192.168.1.0/24), if I access the cisco wireless, I can see on my pc all the devices shares, printers and folders.
I have connected the cisco to ether7 of the Mikrotik. If I access the Mikrotik via wireless ( network 10.0.0.0/24 with masquerade ) I can’t see my local network but the internet access is ok
passing through 192.168.2.254 gateway of provider2.
It seems that 192.168.1.1 is the DNS where I have to take the name resolution, I have tried to put it STATI into DNS/NETWORK option of RB2011 but nothing change.
I am trying to find some information Googling around but no specific help was found.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Alessandro
What I did wrong?
Asked in the wrong manner?
Stupid question?
…
Pls Mikrotik give some help.
Thanks
Not a MikroTik problem. Search the internet how you should configure Windows in a routed network.
Before I put a Mikrotik router I can see all the machines accessible by DNS.
They are already visible in the lan side of the router, they are not visible in the wireless side of the router but are accessible via direct IP, do you already think is a Windows problem?
I think that some netbios informations are not passed.
I asked this question after about a couple of days searching the internet and posted in the newbe section.
Your reply is useless
You are correct: broadcasts are not passed and so the simple location of adjacent resources does not work in a routed network.
But that is not a MikroTik problem! You need to fix it in Windows. That is possible with a domain controller, or netbios name service.
Or, alternatively, you should configure your network so that it is bridged instead of routed.
So put everything in the same subnet and don’t use masquerading internal to your network, only towards internet.
Ok, now is better. I don’t want to put a wins or netbios server in my network so probably I will convert my network from routed to bridged.
Thanks a lot
