Everyone Im not very knowledgeable with networking, so what im asking might make no sense at all, I would really apreciate if you guys could point me in the right dirrection.

So here is my situation. ( I used local IP for representation only  )

So, I have a /29 network given from my isp and I wanted to have internet a a remote location that i had no line of sight for point to point wireless, So I have a friend between the two place wich i said il give you internet if i can have an antenna at your place.

So at the moment what i am doing is basicly nat-ing everything at my first router after the modem. But and I basically bridged all antenna together. witch work okay.

  But now id like to give the external ip directly to my friend and the remote location, So my friend can port forward on its own.

So now il explain my problem. The modem is in "Bridge Mode" but when I use wireshark on eth1 of my router. I can only see traffic that my interface has an ip for and some arp request who has XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX reply to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, So im under the impresion that I really need an ip on the interface Eth1 of my first router for it to send back an arp so the modem know my mac address. Because as soon as I add the address on the interface traffic start to come in. What i was expecting to see was. Traffic coming to my interface no mater what if I have an IP on it and then if i had only then my router would ping back to the internet since the ip is on the interface.

So since i dont have any traffic coming to the interface i can't route packet to be sent to an other interface since I basicly never receive any traffic.

So my question is,. Is there some kind of mac address natting possible on MikroTik? Or maybe i got this all wrong and I should do in an other way.

Also I forgot to say. Id like to stay away from bridging all together since traffic would be pretty high from my first location and my friend Id like the traffic to be routed.

Thanks for your time and answer! :)

I'm not very knowledgeable with networking, so what I'm asking might make no sense at all. I would appreciate help to point me in the right direction.

Here is my situation (I used local IP for representation only).

I have a /29 network from my ISP and I want to have internet at a remote location that I have no line of sight for point-to-point wireless. However, I have a friend between the two places. I offered my friend: I'll give you internet if I can locate an antenna at your place.

What I am doing is basically NAT-ing everything at my first router after the modem. I bridged all the antennas together, which works okay. But now I'd like to give the external IP directly to my friend and the remote location, so my friend can port forward on his own.

Here's my problem. The modem is in "Bridge Mode" but when I use Wireshark on eth1 of my router, I can only see traffic that my interface has an IP for, and some ARP requests for XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX and replies to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. I'm under the impression that I need an IP on the eth1 interface of my first router for it to send back an ARP so the modem knows my MAC address, because as soon as I add the address on the interface traffic starts to come in.

What I was expecting to see was traffic coming to my interface no matter what. If I have an IP on it and then if I had only then my router would ping back to the internet since the IP is on the interface.

So since I don't have any traffic coming to the interface I can't route packets to be sent to another interface since I never receive any traffic.

So my question is: Is there some kind of MAC address NAT-ing possible on MikroTik? Or maybe I got this all wrong and I should do it in another way.

Also, I'd like to stay away from bridging altogether since traffic would be pretty high from my first location, and my friend and I would like the traffic to be routed.

Thanks for your time and answer!
