MikroTik

Hi all.
I was thinking of learning routerOS by setting it up in wmware on my computer.
I got it running, I can connect to it by using it's mac address.
I used arp-a and angry ip scanner to get all the used ip addresses.
When setting it up with 192.168.33/24 in winbox and trying to connect to it using its ip address it does not work.

I would like to set it up as a firewall/router for my computer to emulate a hardware router.
any suggestions?

The default IP address is 192.168.88.1.
username is "admin" with no password.

set network adapter to "bridged" in vmware setiings for this machine. you can try also "nat" setting.

I searched the net and found a solution.
When using Network connection Host-only and then sharing the network with wmware ethernet connection in windows I don't have a problem with my firewall blocking winbox.
I got it from this youtube video.
