I've learned a lot about networking in the last few days but I could not find the magic configuration to get on the network from my computer. So it time for me to ask for help. Here is where I think I am having problems: In Winbox, /tool traceroute 8.8.8.8 and /ping google.com work, Thus I think the problem is at Step 22. -22.

It looks like you have a subnet mask mismatch. It would explain the 169.x.x.x self-assigned address. Your PC is looking for a different gateway? I see: 255.255.0.0 on your local machine, and 255.0.0.0 on the router config. What subnet is the DHCP server on? Matthew L.

Bob hopped into the IRC earlier today and discussed, but in summary, the internal interface of his modem isn't configured with an IP on his local network, and isn't configured to either act as a DHCP server or client. The present recommendation is to find an IP address in his existing network that his existing home router's DHCP server won't try to give out, and assign that to the internal interface of his HamWAN modem. After which he should be able to talk locally to the modem. After that, he'll need to add a NAT masquerade rule, so that he could traverse traffic to and from HamWAN via a computer on his local network, assuming the routes or default gateway are configured properly.
