Unknown State

I have 1 interface that show me the follow:

status: unknown


But, when I make pings outside from mk works fine, the problem is that I can't ping from the lan host to Internet (yes to mk).

What could it be ?


Thanks !

When you see status: unknown are you MAC-telnet in winbox or you going through terminal directly?

I've seen this before too. I don't know what causes it, but it seems like the ethernet just isn't negotiating properly. To clear it out, I've forced the interface to renegotiate by either disabling and re-enabling the inteface (unless you are behind it - don't lock yourself out :-) ) or you can also uncheck autonegotiation and click apply, then go back and check it again and hit apply. That seems to force renegotiation without too much of a chance that you'll lock yourself out of the router.
