Have a brand new MicroTik router - everything seems to be working fine, except for one thing. The MT router sits between my internal network and a locked down thin client. I can VNC into the thin client from my computer connected via Ethernet to the MT router, but can't do it via wireless connections.
So how do I allow port 5900 through to the thin client's address (192.168.255.253/30) only?
Any help/advice appreciated.
Re: New to MT - How to add rule allowing port through via wireless
you should add accept rule in firewall
Code: Select all
/ip firewall filter
add action=accept chain=forward dst-address=192.168.255.253-192.168.255.252 dst-port=5900 protocol=tcp

There is no special handling of ethernet or wireless in the default configuration.
Your problem is probably in the computer (local firewall), not in the router.

Sounds like you're using the Mikrotik as just a switch with AP?
Ports 2-5 and wifi are already bridged (so it's like a switch already). You wouldn't use ether1 in this case.
If you already have a DHCP server on the network, and you forgot to turn off the DHCP server in the Mikrotik, then maybe sometimes you'll get an IP from the Mikrotik. This will break your connectivity.
