Hello
This is a field implementation and attempting to ping machines. First, I have read the manual. I think I may need a real Gateway, difficult in this application.
Here is the simple scenario.....
I have RB112 with RouterOS 2.9.51.
One Ethernet Interface, One WLan Interface.
I am making a vehicle-to-vehicle network to connect two computers.
Computer A (10.52.1.101/24) connects by ether1 (10.52.1.200/24)
Computer B (10.52.1.102/24) connects by wlan1 (10.52.1.220/24)
A bridge1 is used (10.52.1.240)
A DHCP Server setup on bridge1. This works.
IP Route is default setup.
I can ping ether1, wlan1, bridge1 from either computer.
I can not ping Computer A <---> Computer B.
I did set the Gateway to 10.52.1.1 . However there is NO gateway server in the system. There is no DNS server. This is not a traditional network - it is just connecting two machines together through the router. I am using Mikrotik because it has NStreme, dynamic Ack timing, and facility to host Ubiquiti mini-PCI cards for a long distance application.
What am I doing wrong? Must I have a Gateway? Would Hotspot Gateway cover this and can I effectively do it without auhentication (walled garden)?
The question supercedes my previous questions as I explore why I cannot ping. The manual is good, but always gives examples where a gateway device is present. No fair.
