All,

I have an RB 750GL that I need some help with. Out of the box (defaults) it works just fine in a test setting. But everytime I plug in my ISP assigned IP address (static) and my 10.10.0.x (LAN) ip block (static) I lose my ability to connect to anything outside the LAN. I know it's a matter of setting the proper routes, but I am just not getting it.

Rather that drive myself further and further into frustration, I would like to take the captialistic route and purchase knowledge and help. This forum has lots of good advice, but I am missing something or am confusing myself.

So.... if your rates are reasonable and you can accept payment via paypal (delivered on Friday (my payday)) and would like to provide some one-on-one help with what I hope is a fairly easy (not for me) fix send me a PM or email (email is preferred).

I will be happy to reset the router back to its out-of-the-box defaults so we are working from a clean slate.

To give some details (rest to follow privately as needed)

ISP IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
netmask: 255.255.255.252
gateway: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (one digit less than the ISP IP)

My network: 10.10.0.0
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 10.10.0.1

Everything on my network currently works, except my router is a cheap P.o.S that locks up a lot. Hoping this RouterBoard is way more stable.

Will provide any and all information I can privately. Hoping to hear from someone. It's not a rush, but I'd love to put this router into production by Sunday (today being Monday).

have you configured the NAT?

This should get you started

kind regards

I appreciate the tips. (I really do) but at this point I am just burned out. I am hoping there is someone out there who I can give the details to and they can say "do exactly this, this, and this". And in return I will compensate them.

In the examples that were provided DHCP is used. When I use DHCP everything works fine. but that is my test environment, in my real world environment, there is no DHCP, and that's where I am having my issues. When I set my IPs statically, everything goes south. Nothing works correctly anymore.

Yes, u r right, Routerboard is pretty well in all types natting setup.

you can try the below

you can try the below

Code: Select all

/ip firewall nat add chain=src-nat src-address=10.10.0.0/24 action=src-nat to-address=(ip configured on WAN)
/ip route add gateway=(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (one digit less than the ISP IP))

Thank you so much! I was able to get everything working with your help. You have saved me hours of frustration
