Must be simple, but just getting started with MikroTik!
Initial setup problems.
I am trying to setup a local home/SOHO network using a mikroTik (RB760iGS - HEXs) router.
I currently have a home network hanging off a campus network, and will then move to a direct ISP feed, and need to install my own Firewall & protection.
To do that I have setup the router as a node on the local LAN and one test system under it – as a testbed trial.
(architecture layout attached - this is the "Testing" diagram.)
Using the QuckSet in WinBox,
• I gave it a static (since DHCP was not working) IP for the Wan link (E1) to match local network IP and mask, and DNS addresses
o Why is DHCP not working?
• Left it as router
• Turned off DHCP, left NAT on
• Plugged test system into E2.
I can ping out from the WinBox (router) to other machines on the LAN, but the machine on the subnet below it (E2) cannot – “Transmit failed, General Failure”
Problems:
But DNS does not work, nor DHCP. The DNS addresses are the same as all other machines on the LAN.
Also therefore it cannot do Update.
