Hi engineers ! :)
I have a problem with this hotspot NAT rules is created automatically ...
after starting the Hotspot server , xp users cant see the filed shared by win7 users. totally can't see the workgroups and other hosts
just when I remove the hotspot or NAT rule created by hotspot, the things go well and the LAN works well and XP and 7 users can see each other well
what should I do to fix this? which rule needs to be changed?
I want to my file sharing work speedy .
thank you dudes

If you think nat is the problem, you can still run hotspot without the nat. Just make sure that the hotspot interface is the one giving dhcp addresses. Then you be able to see you local network.

If you want to allow communication on the hotspot localnet, you can disable the hotspot universal nat by setting the hotspot address pool to "none".
/ip hotspot
set 0 address-pool=none
