Is there a point to the CD's?

I know, I'm pushing logic and reason into a situation in which they clearly don't exist.

Eskimo

RB750s come pre-configured.

Eskimo

Where is your god now?

Apparently inside that case, entombed behind the duct tape on the drive bay.

Eskimo

The routers are on bonded T1's.

Eskimo

There is no queuing on either one, I know that. I'm not sure what the connection type is, router is in another state. I have a call in with that question and will get back to you as soon as I have an answer.

Eskimo

We changed the interfaces to a PPTP client and the error rate went to zero, dropped the MRU and the throughput went up.

May be upstream provider is eating L2TP traffic for some reason?

Eskimo

Thank you.

Eskimo

We are getting a lot of Rx errors on one of our L2TP connections. Data still gets through, slowly, but with this many errors and I'm not sure I can to depend on that link. We've traded out patch cables on both ends, just not sure whats going on here. Anybody ever have this kind of problem before? We...

Eskimo

Are they ready yet?

Eskimo

I just loved that they are crushing a trash can under the desk.

Eskimo

I'd create a script in scheduler.

Versions other than than 3.24?

Eskimo

I can confirm that it works. I just passed a message through my Gmail account. Thank you very much Mikrotik, I've been waiting for this feature for a long time.

I am VERY pleased.

Eskimo

Water can get into those in some cases and degrade signal. Valypetre is right in his recommendations as well.

Eskimo

Can water actually get inside the cables, or is it just the connectors I need to worry about? Is just drying out your connectors sufficient or do I need to replace my cables? Water can get inside normal cat5, thats why the outdoor cables have that nice goo inside them. Are you using any surge prote...

Eskimo

Are there indoor cases available?

EDIT

It seems there is.

Eskimo

Can you use Rs232 COM port?

Do you know what kind of board it is?
What interfaces does it have?

Eskimo

I would suggest upgrading to most current version.

Are you connected via IP or MAC with winbox?

Eskimo

We have used this in the past but looks like it has changed ownership since we used it.

Its called QCheck, and is free. Your mileage may vary.

Eskimo

Do they all drop at the same time? Create a Netwatch to email you or log when they go down if your not sure.

I would suggest putting them on separate UPS, just for testing. If that doesn't work you may want to try different PSU.

I wish I could offer more suggestions.

Eskimo

hello, There is a base with 5 boards , 3xrb433 and 2x rb333. After some time 3 of them just go down all 433 looks like no power going to board. The PSU is 24v 0.8 A also there is a UPS and they are powered up by jack socet no PoE. When I take off power for 20 seconds and plug back they starting lik...

Eskimo

LOL. Eskimo, you have a WISP in Okie? Not really an ISP. Mostly software development and network administration. Most (may be all) of our sites use MT equipment. We do some wireless point to point for clients that can use it. Mostly ridding the world of $500 a month T1 lines. n2m - A screenshot and...

Wow, this is not an official forum but it is forum.mikrotik.com? Like that isn't officially sponsored by MikroTik. Beyond that, if this isn't an official MikroTik forum and you aren't officially associated with MikroTik then why for ages were you the one who chewed people out for discussing non MT ...

Eskimo

The only way you will be able to drive around and maintain the same IP is with WDS.

Eskimo

Vodka is good. Its always nice find we have things in common.

There are lots of reasons why this could be happening, we may need more information about your setup.

Are their any other wireless systems running in the area? You may be competing with another network. Try changing frequencies.

Eskimo

I have several RB600's with uptime around 40 days.

Are you using a RouterBoard or PC?

Eskimo

Is this problem caused by upgrading past 3.0 or does it only occur on some boards? I have more than a few of these that don't seem to have this problem, but I don't think any of them are upgraded past 3.0.

I'm interested to see more reports from those that have upgraded to the new BIOS.

Eskimo

While I am not a fan of Vista and its many problems, I have had no issue connecting to routerboards via mac.

Eskimo

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you very much for the correction.

Eskimo

...I wish all the boards were 48v as that is the voltage for true 802.3af PoE devices, but for whatever reason, they felt like going 24v instead...

24v produces less interference in some instances.

Eskimo

I concur. Dual 40mm's on the side would be ideal. Its not like I'd notice or care about the increased sound in my rack. I would notice me not worrying about that piece of hardware.

Eskimo

On the picture of the RB1000 from the newsletter, it shows a fan vent on the top of the case. Shouldn't that be on the side? If I am tight on rack space is this thing going to melt through my switches? :shock: Yes I know, put it on top, but just from a practical design perspective. I've never had a ...

I agree

Hi bouletBill, welcome to the forum.

There currently is no native version of the Dude for Linux, be it stable or beta. If you search this forum you can find how to use wine to run the windows EXE in a Linux environment.

Is this card listed?

Eskimo

Thank you very much Matt, this will help on several levels.

Eskimo

I'm trying to get the number of active connections into a variable with no success.

I have a script that cycles the router when it looses connection with the rest of the world as a band aid patch until I find the real problem. I would like to log the number of active connections before I do so.

Eskimo

Not a bad idea. The new boards really do look different.

Eskimo

We added shielded cat 5 and changed power supplies yesterday as well as ferrite beads. First we changed the power supply from 48v to an 18v and ran a test. This resolved nearly all the noticeable interference. Very little (if any) change occurred from the extra shielding. After all was set up we cra...

Eskimo

Post your question please, what kind of help do you need?

Eskimo

We will be changing the power supply to an 18v instead of the 48v early next week, also got our shielded cable in so we will be replacing that run as well. Which should have been done in the first place. We will be doing it in stages to see at what point the interference stops or significantly decre...

Eskimo

Thank you very much.

I'll give these ideas a shot and let you know if they work out.

Eskimo

We have an ~2mile point to point with good line of sight. We have great signal strength (-50db) and connectivity. The link itself is strong and stable. One point of the connection is on a 150 foot tower that is also used by the local Sheriff departments repeater for their car radio units. The Sherif...
