There are a couple of options here, but it isn't clear how the network is configured. From the headend (where the MT PC is located), do you have one link to the first campground and then a link from the first campground to the second? If so, then this makes the task a little more difficult, but not impossible. You can use VLANs and set each campground on their own "interface" in the MT, each of which can run their own hotspot. If you have 2 unique links from the headend, one to each campground, you can just run hotspot on a different physical interface (one for each link). > So here's what I want to do: > 1.

This doesn't really make sense. If I am understanding correctly how your network is configured, you have a range of public IP addresses assigned to the "internet side" of your MT. If this is the case, the only way to make it "pass through" the router is using a dst-nat rule to nat it to a private IP inside the network. I'm not sure if that is what you are trying to do or not. > 2. Run 2 hotspots on the main MT PC and figure out how to separate them at > the remote tower, feeding them to their proper campground. This can be accomplished per my advice above. > Any ideas? I am probably going to need something close to step-by-step. Not sure I can do this, but I'd be happy to assist. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://www.wispa.org/ * WISPA Board Member * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * ******************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list Mikrotik@mail.butchevans.com http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS
