My ISP gave me a PPPoE connection but the DHCP server is running on my NetLink Router. I also asked them according to them it should work just fine they have not idead why its not working. I am attaching the config screenshot can you suggest any solution? ThanksI think from your description that you are trying to set up the WAN port of the router as a DHCP client (the default condition for port 1). That is fine IF your ISP is expecting you to just be a simple DHCP client. They may also use any one of several other configurations for the connection from the ISP to your router. PPPOE is a common one, but NOT the only.
You need to find out from your ISP how THEY want that connection set up on your end. You need to make the router match what your ISP dictates. For the most part, you have no control on how they want it - you just need to match the setup they dictate.
That would have been useful to mention initially.My ISP gave me a PPPoE connection but the DHCP server is running on my NetLink Router.
Hi, First of all, thank you for your quick reply, and hoping to get it all working with your help. I really appreciate your time. My PC does get an IP(192.168.1.6) from the Netlink router but Mikrotik RB750gr is not getting one. Here are the config files and some screenshots. Just basically a brand new router not config except for the DHCP-client.That would have been useful to mention initially.My ISP gave me a PPPoE connection but the DHCP server is running on my NetLink Router.
Connect a PC set to DHCP directly to a LAN port on the NetLink router and confirm that the PC gets an IP (should be in the 192.168.1.x subnet according to your screen capture). Confirm that it's working properly. If not, your problem is in the NetLink.
Assuming that the PC directly connected to the Netlink router works, reconnect the RB750 port 1 to a LAN port on the NetLink, and reconnect the PC to a LAN port on the RB750. Then connect to RB750 and export your configuration and post it here.
To export and paste your configuration (and I'm assuming you are using WebFig or Winbox), open a terminal window, and type (without the quotes) "/export hide-sensitive file=any-filename-you-wish". Then open the files section and right click on the filename you created and select download in order to download the file to your computer. It will be a text file with whatever name you saved to with an extension of .rsc. Suggest you then open the .rsc file in your favorite text editor and redact any sensitive information. Then in your message here, click the code display icon in the toolbar above the text entry (the code display icon is the 7th one from the left and looks like a square with a blob in the middle). Then paste the text from the file in between the two code words in brackets.

I am braindead :0Did you perform the test with a PC connected to the NetLink router? If so, what were the results?
For a new RB750Gr3 (at least when I bought mine a few years ago), that is no where near all of the configuration. Because you only showed us a tiny portion of the configuration, we can't tell what is going on. Please follow my instructions in my previous post and post your configuration as instructed above...
Or what mkx said...
