Just as an example, my MT here at home on Spark UFB has a MTU of 1480 on the pppoe interface, this was set by the MT which is infact a routeros default for pppoe.

Cyril

Despite recent changes MTU negotiation is still broken in RouterOS IMHO.

You should force this to 1500 as Spark support full 1500 byte MTU via PPPoE.

Hi, no you mention it I do recall reading that this is now supported, just upped the phy and vlan10 somewhat and then pppoe to 1500, all going

IPv6 - I'm not sure I follow sorry. I'm only using IPv4 on the network.

I know this all sounds crazy. If I wasn't sitting here losing my hair I wouldn't believe me either.

I've have another Windows machine with Wifi and its exhibiting same symptoms as the other devices. So I've got one Windows machine working perfectly on wifi and another 4 devices (Windows, iPhone and Mibox) that don't.

On the non-working Windows box I can access Google and even YouTube. Like the other devices I'm unable to browse other websites but can successfully ping them. Telnet will open a connection on port 80 to any website.

I'm going to revert to how everything was before I started and will report back.

I was wondering if your mikrotik is serving IPv6 yet you don't have a properly working IPv6 connection.

if you haven't already reverted everything, is dns working on the mikrotik from terminal? Care to post your configuration (> /export)?

sfrasernz:

Windows is picking up the following DNS servers:

10.0.0.2
122.56.237.1
210.55.111.1

On the MT under DNS there are two dynamic servers (being the last two in the list above).

Do I need to setup forwarding somewhere? I've had a look around and haven't found anything specific.

seeing that you're using the router as the dns server, you need to allow remote requests, AFTER ensuring your firewall rules are correct.

Hi the firewall rules are generic and should work but try changing the Nat outbound interface to the pppoe interface

Do you need that DHCP client on ether1 as well?

add add-default-route=yes allow=pap disabled=no interface=ether1 name=pppoe-out1 password=password use-peer-dns=yes user=user@spark.co.nz

Agree this is looking like a MTU issue.

I'd suggest adding the following to your pppoe-client interface config.

max-mru=1492 max-mtu=1492

Also, don't set an IP address to an interface that's part of a bridge. Rather add the IP address to the bridge directly.

(
add bridge=bridge comment=defconf interface=ether2

/ip address
add address=10.0.0.2/24 comment=defconf interface=ether2 network=10.0.0.0
)

Should be:
/ip address
add address=10.0.0.2/24 comment=defconf interface=bridge network=10.0.0.0

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've modified the MTU but made no difference. Also tried to double-nat the two routers but didn't get too far because I can't get a static route from the hg659 back to the MT. I'm going to put this to rest for now.

I expect when I connect the MT to the Spark UFB and follow murfys instructions it'll be good to go.

Hi, it will most definitely work as I have setup several on Spark VDSL with both bridge behind a Huawei and with a Metnoia vdsl sfp module, and never had an issue.

Why not for now, just do a config reset (if its a hex device, hold in reset button while applying power, as soon as usr led starts to flash release, other devices see the website) and leave it as that, then setup a pppoe on interface1 as usual, see how that goes, then start moving the lan networks.

Just a heads up your first hop to the BNG won't respond to pings / traceroute. That's by design of the BNG config. So at least one hop won't respond or give you a very high TTL which is meaningless as the BNG.

If the end point you are trying to ping / traceroute to responds in the time you expect then you're fine.

Legend! A full reset and starting from scratch has done the trick. PPPoE MTU still reports an actual of 1480 but it's working. Vlans and DHCP scopes are working as well. Phew. Config looks pretty much the same as before *except* these two lines are not in the working config:

/ppp profile
set *0 change-tcp-mss=no

I guess I could add them back to see what happens but I'd rather not :-)
