hello friends.
In my LAN CEO have unlimited bandwidth so when the CEO is not using his computer (i.e. the PC is off) the smart staffs changes there IP to match with the CEO's PC and use the unlimited b/w to browse the internet.
can i bind the MAC of CEO eg 00:0C:42:2B:F8 with the ip 192.168.0.8 so that only the PC with particular MAC can use the particular IP.
any helping guidance is appreciated.
Thankyou in advance
Sanjeev

P.S. I don't have hotspot neither DHCP server configured on Mikrotik.
I tried experimenting with this link "http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/How_to_se ... _using_ARP" but the user can still change the ip and browse internet.The above link procedure is not working for me. :~ am i missing something.
Thankyou

try this filter to bind IP and MAC:

add action=drop chain=forward src-address=192.168.X.X src-mac-address=!00:0C:42:XX:XX:XX

* there is a "!" in front of MAC address

simply add static ARP Table binding for this particular user

Thanks brian christ and chupaka
both of tips worked ... that was excellent
though, simply adding static ARP Table binding for this particular user. was the convenient one for me.
Thanks brian thanks chupaka

I tried adding static ARP method before but you have to change the interface ARP setting to reply-only, or a new ARP entry will created as the user using new IP address.

but in normal system, if the user changes his IP to another, he should not work at all =)

but setups differ...
