dear all,

i'm having trouble in deploying mikrotik with the configuration below.

my configuration is as below:

senao = senao sl-2611-cb3 plus
dlink = dlink 2000ap+ wireless client mode

configuration 1

client-utp---senao~~~~~senao~~~senao-------utp---mikrotik-internet
pc...............bridge mode...ap mode...bridge mode

= client cannot connect to internet, it seems mikrotik cannot masquerade the packet/request from client pc

configuration 2

client-utp-senao~~~~~~~senao~~~~~pci wireless----mikrotik-internet
pc............ bridge mode........ap mode.........card

= client can connect to internet, everything is okay

configuration 3

client-utp-senao~~~~~senao~~~~~dlink 2000ap---mikrotik-internet
pc............bridge mode...ap mode........wireless client
..............................................................mode

= client can connect to internet, everything is okay

what wrong in configuration 1?
any solution for configuration 1?

thanks.

I have the same problem whit a similar configuration.

Clients----MT----Senao Bridge----Senao Bridge----MT (NAT)---Internet


I lost the NAT when the Senao table was fully (one MAC many IPs)

I put one of the Senao in AP and the other in Bridge everithing goes well, but the speed of the link is lowest.

Clients----MT----Senao AP----Senao Bridge----MT (NAT)---Internet

It´s a Senao problem ?

Configuration 4:

Client --- Senao Bridge ~~~~ Senao AP --- MT(NAT) --- Internet

= client can connect to internet, everything is okay

In configuration 1, I have tried enable the 'clone MAC address' option from the Senao bridge, but it still doesn't work.

In configuration 1, I tried replace the MT with winroute, and still doesn't work.

I thing the problem is about arp, but can't find the solution.

Senao problem? or bridging problem? Have you tried with another bridge?

I thing that´s a Senao Problem.

Configuracion 5

Client---MT---LinkSys Bridge----LinkSysBridge------MT(NAT)----Internet

= client can connect to internet, everything is okay

Bye

That´s happend whit Senaos cards too ?

What is your LinkSys bridge type? price? is it support POE?

For client side, I usually use Senao SL-2611-CB3 Plus, cost about 130 usd.

For MT side, I currenty use Configuration 3. But Dlink 2000AP+ in client mode doesn't have any signal strength/quality monitor. So we have difficulty in adjusting the antenna/getting the best signal. How about your LinkSys bridge?

I've never use a Senao Card. But I think every PCI/USB/PCMCIA card attached directly to PC can be NATted properly.

Thx.

Senao as a bridge mode doesn't accept more than one mac address .. it just see the only mac address behind it... I had such problem on PPPoE

I replaced the Senao with pheenet access points

WAP 11.

I only used in a test, I don't use LinkSys, I hate it , but in a backbone works better than the Senao.

I'm in Argentina , and its and old access point.
