Completely new and lost

Thu Jun 23, 2022 10:44 pm

Hello all,

I honestly have no idea where to begin with the issues that were dropped onto me. I work in broadcast and was hired for a job that is not related to IT, but being that I am now the only employee, IT and Networking got shifted over to me.

Currently have RouterOS and after finally finding the credentials (former employee never documented anything) I was able to connect to the main router. One of the problems im having is setting up a tunnel to another router. I've gone through steps and basic troubleshooting, but still have had no luck establishing a connection to the devices on that Mikrotik switch.

Once I get connection established between the tunnels, then half the battle is won.

The other half is being able to connect to a device via networked stream on VLC media player. Here's the odd part. When I'm at the main office, I cannot connect to the IP, but if I do it from a completely different network or even my phone over 5G I can connect to the address and watch the stream. Sadly this is not the only confusing thing as even the company website does not register as a https while in the office, but everywhere else is perfectly fine and https works proper.

I'm really at a loss for a lot of what's going on and have been hitting brick walls at every turn.

I know this isn't being totally specific but that's also because I'm still new at talking Networking, so I apologize in advance.

Thanks all.
