I read the manual on wiki, and i think i did everything.
but i connect to the router and it wont assign a ip address to my computer.
the computer says limited or no connectivity.
i go back into the router and disable the radius server from dhcp and then it assigns a ip address. Any ideas would be helpful.

Did you follow the steps described in DHCP example wiki: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/User_Manager/DHCP_Example ?

yep tried everything followed every single step but no luck. it wont assign a ip address.
anything else i can do.
thank you

Turn or radius logs on the router, where DHCP is running (system logging add topics=radius,packet) and check what response does the Radius client receive from User Manager.

Add radius client to consult User Manager for DHCP service.
/ radius add service=dhcp address=y.y.y.y secret=123456
'secret' is equal to User Manager router secret. 'y.y.y.y' is the User Manager router address.
Note, first local router database is consulted, then User Manager database. User will be unable to obtain DHCP lease, if DHCP router and User Manager server will not contain any information about user's data.


What is the user manager router address?

I have a rb 493 ah

port 1,2,3 have dsl lines

port 4,7.8.9 are under a bridge. its dhcp the adress for this one is 192.168.11.253

port 5 is my hotspot.

port 6 not working.

i want the usermanager to work with the bridge.

you have to use address for User MAnager, which is reachable from the router, where DHCP is running. I.e., you must be able to ping this address from DHCP router. If User Manager and DHCP are running on the same router, you can try to use 127.0.0.1 as User Manager address.
