As per the image that I have attached:

The 2 lines that you see in the picture are for the same machine. Prior to this machine being connected to the network I knew what the MAC address was and wanted to assign it a STATIC IP.
So I have preconfigured the router with what you see.

When it was connected It was automatically assigned the 192.168.1.40 ip and not the 192.168.1.42 that I expected.

Why?

Can I not assign all the IP's in advance of the actual machine being connected?

Sorry for bumping this, but does anyone have any idea here?

Again thank you for help.

Screenshots are an extraordinarily poor way to show the relevant details.

Post the output of "/ip address print detail", "/interface print detail", "/ip pool print detail", "/ip dhcp-server print detail", "/ip dhcp-server network detail", and "/ip dhcp-server lease print detail". Wrap output in

 tags to keep it readable, and include the command ran to generate the output in what you paste here. You can generate the output by opening a terminal (either native via SSH or whatever, or via the New Terminal button in Winbox) and pasting the commands I specified into that terminal session. Then copy the results back out and paste them here.

Edit: linking to your other thread about the same topic so people trying to help you out don't duplicate efforts all over the place: [url]http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=56354[/url]

Or maybe in the /log section - there was some "failed to assign [...] already in use" or sth. like that? It sometimes happens, that MikroTik discovers an IP conflict (either real, or imaginary like with Win.Vista or Win.7). The result looks exactly as your screenshot shows

.

Wow, I can't believe it took me this long to get back to it.
I finally have put the router back into the system to see if I can get it working properly.

fewi: I hope you are still around to take a look at this.

(I have upgraded to v5.22 by the way)

Ultimately I'd like to be able to:
1. Monitor Bandwidth usage per user (Sounds like I have to ID them via MAC address because somewhere in the manual or on the forum I had read that doing it via IP address (even if that IP was Statically set to THAT MAC) was not really the "right" way to do it.

2. Be able to set Curfews and Bandwidth limits to specific Users

3. Be able to turn them OFF instantly (with a click of a button per se) . . . "Torching their connection"???? is that the correct RouterOS term?

4. Potentially set the router up so that only a "White List" of users can connect to the network.

. . . but to do that I have to be able to bind an IP to any MAC and have it "Stick". No?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I was able to get Bandwidth tracking set up. Whether this was the correct way to do it or not I have NO IDEA, but this seems to be working for now:
For what it is worth, I have set the IP for each user in the DHCP Server>Leases, and then created a "Queue" list that has the MAC as the Name and the IP that was set for each machine in the DHCP Server. For some reason that I don't understand yet, and would hope someone here could clarify this for me, is why bandwidth tracking doesn't happen unless the "Total Que Type" is set to "Default.

This is the trouble I am having with the RouterOS documentation:
I look at what the Que Type is set to for 'default' and I see:
Name; default
Kind: pififo
Queue Size: 50 packets

. . . I have no idea what that means at all, and the manual doesn't explain that at all !

I don't need to be spoon fed, and I am willing to learn, but WHERE do I find out what things like this mean, and why when a 'Simple Queue' is set up with the default setting for the "Que Type" of:
Name: default-small
Kind: pififo
Queue Size: 10 packets

. . . DOESN'T track bandwidth used. Only the packet size is different. I just don't get it.

Assistance would be appreciated. Thanks
