Here is a rough guide how to setup yor RB and PC for new 172.24 or 172.25 IP's on ptawug.
It assumed that Windows is used as Operating System and that you have a MikroTik RouterBoard(RB). It is also assumed that you have your PC connected directly to your RB via a lan cable or switch.
Users who wish to NAT or use both their internet and WUG connections from one PC is advised to seek help on #ptawugged. Do not ask the person who helped you to get an IP to help you by means of a Private Message on the IRC. The admin person is only expected to help you get an IP range, configure the HighSite for your range and get your first Windows XP PC connected directly to the WUG.
Users with non standard hardware or operating systems should seek help on the general IRC channels or do the necessary research themselves.
Should you need help or experience problems. Make use of the resources on the general IRC channels!
The Following is an example of an assigned IP range and will be used for this guide:
Connect to your Routerboard with it's MAC-address.
Go to IP then Adresses(1 and 2 on screenshot).
- Now add your new IPs by clicking on the red "+".
- Fill in the information as shown below.
- Remember to use the IP + 1 (See green star above for location) on your ether1 IP.
- Romeo0s range is 172.25.81.0 so it will be set to 172.25.81.1/28 on ether1.
- Note : You have to add the /28 as shown.
Once you have done this go to IP > Routes (Number 1 and 3 in screenshot).
- Add a new route by clicking the red "+" and filling in the correct information.
- Note : Destination will always be 172.16.0.0/12
- To find out where you can get your Gateway(Purple star) IP look at the blue star above(First screenshot).
- Your new IP's are now correcly set up on your routerboard.
- Go to tools > Ping.
- Enter 172.24.1.1 in "Ping to" block and click ping.
- If you did everything correctly it should look something like this ping
Setting up your PC
- change your IP of your PC by taking the IP assigned to your RB and +1 to this ip
- eg. my RB ip is 172.25.81.1 so my PC ip would be 172.25.81.2
- The gateway IP would be YOUR RB's IP
- The Subnet would be 255.255.255.248
- Primary DNS will be the IP of YOUR hs Loopback Interface eg. Mine would be 172.25.80.1 as per http://172.24.1.1/mediawiki/index.php/New_IP_HS_Page
- Secondary DNS you can set to 172.24.1.1 or 172.25.9.1 if you are in Centurion
- Now you have to change the WUG route of your pc
- start by going to the command prompt eg start > run > CMD
- You have to add a persistent route to your RB
- route -p add 172.16.0.0 mask 255.240.0.0 <<IP_OF_YOUR_RB>>
- check that you have a route by typing > route print
- Do a ping test or traceroute to 172.24.1.1 to check that you are connected
