It can be a bear setting up netinstall to work the first time, especially if you use a VM. Also, if you're unaware that for some reason the CCR series runs netinstall on the last port, instead of the first port like every other MikroTik product.
Netinstall only works if you power up the unit while holding the reset button down for about 20+ seconds until the blinky light goes out. If port 8 is pulling DHCP, it's not in the correct startup state. And if it's looking for DHCP, it's no wonder it doesn't want to talk to your laptop, as your laptop doesn't offer any. > On Mar 19, 2019, at 11:18 AM, Leon Zetekoff via Mikrotik-users > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Joe.... > > I spent a few hours tackling Netinstall and I can not get it to work.
