This would export/import addresses as well as credentials for MikroTik boxes saved in your favorites list. It has nothing to do with configuration of any MikroTik box. Oh. That makes sense. Thanks. While we are at that particular screen, what does the "Clear Cache" do then? It is certainl...

When using Winbox to login, there is a tools button.

What exactly is being Exported here?

Are these address for the DHCP server leases?

get netinstall, enable net boot, set IP to same subnet as your PC, hold reset button until user light stops flashing, it will kick in etherboot, and you will be able to flash it with fresh ROS. Thanks dravnieks. This is Ultimately what I had to do. I followed these instructions here as they were ve...

Hi TDPsGM, I have found that sometime MT hardware doesnt reset even if you reset it (?), try once again (couple of times!) to reset it with reset button (you have to hold it during the powerup, and release once ACT stops flashing - aprox 10s) Tomas Thanks for the response petrisimo. No, that didn't...

I was planning to start with a clean slate with an RB450G and version 5.24 and when I went to System>Reset Configuration in winbox ... I checked the box that said "No Default Configuration" and then clicked the "Reset Configuration" Button. No Default Configuration Reset.PNG Now ...

TDPsGM

Does anyone have any suggestions on this that might help?

TDPsGM

in files is there hotspot folder available ? .... Thanks samir494 for the response. Yes the files are there. It turns out that all I needed to do was under the IP>Hotspot>Server Tab was select my hotspot server and click on the "Reset HTML" button. I just never noticed that button before ...

TDPsGM

I have a RB750GL running a hotspot while I tinkered with a RB450G. The RB450G I used the GUI System/Reset Configuration option, and then tried setting a simple Hotspot up using the wizard. Everything seems to be ok (I get assigned an IP address that I set for this MAC in the DHCP Lease). What I don'...

TDPsGM

Ok, I have set up a Hotspot and added users so they don't have to "Login" to the network to get on line. To be honest I preferred the data I was looking for when I had set people up in the que's but I wasn't sure how to restrict access to those that were NOT in the que list. Is there a way...

TDPsGM

Ok, because this thing is bugging the heck out of me, I grabbed a spare Hard Drive and did a quick "Fresh" windows install. I threw on the same AV and Firewall and Winbox logs in perfectly - just as you'd expect it too. :? So it is clearly it is a software conflict but I haven't the foggie...

TDPsGM

Ok, I found it on the http://tiktube.com/ website. There was a video there from a MUM conference that explained that the "Firmware" comes with the OS version updates. It also said that you have to do the OS version update FIRST. After that, you can apply the Firmware update. Maybe I am mis...

TDPsGM

Sorry, I am not sure what you mean by host file. What should I be looking for? Is it possible that The NIC on THIS computer is faulty? Has anyone ever heard of that? I have never had any other problems with this machine. Being that I have a 'Clean' Win7 pro OS on another partition that ALSO doesn't ...

TDPsGM

it's an idee, go to dos prompt type arp -d try again to connect the rb with winbox No sorry, no luck. The exact same thing happens. The only thing that I have different on THIS machine that I am having trouble connecting with is that there is a VPN installed. I don't see why THAT would make a diffe...

TDPsGM

Thanks plisken for the help. I don't think it is a driver issue as I have 3 "Sager NP-8150" computers with identical configurations (Win7, Firewall, and AV). The other 2 connect perfectly and have the exact same drivers as this machine (also an NP-8150) and I am NOT able to connect with it...

TDPsGM

Ok, I think that we may be getting somewhere! I multi boot my machine and I have a perfectly clean installation of Win7 Pro on one of the partitions. When I thought that there was a possible conflict, I booted into THAT machine and tried to connect and had the same issues. It was suggested that I tr...

TDPsGM

It is normal, Winbox shows IP address assigned to specific Ethernet port. If address is not assigned Winbox shows '0.0.0.0'. MAC connection works over UDP, check your firewall settings. Also upgrade Win7 NIC drivers, from my experience, outdated drivers are usually main reason of problem. HTH, I ha...

TDPsGM

Yes it is the current driver - I am usually pretty anal about that. It is a Jmicron PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter and I have re-downloaded the latest driver from here: ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/Ethernet/Windows/ I don't have an XP machine readily available, but I could create a Virtual Box ...

TDPsGM

Yes, when I connect to etherport 1, and WHEN the MAC shows up (00:0C:42:54:E1:F2), the IP that is associated with it is 0.0.0.0 Winbox Loader - finds eth1.png When I connect to any other port - for example port 2 - The mack that shows up is (00:0C:42:54:E1:F3), and the IP that appears is 192.168.1.1...

Thanks for the reply honzam. Regarding the How to on this link: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Bootloader_upgrade It says: This command shows the current RouterBOOT version of your device, and available upgrade which is either included in routerboard.npk package . . . . Does that mean it is AL...

TDPsGM

Is there anyone who can answer these questions? My Questions: 1) How did the router "GET" the Firmware to be upgraded? Did the Router go out to the internet on it's own to get it, or did it come with the latest version of the OS that I installed (v5.23) ? 2) Does upgrading to the latest &q...

TDPsGM

Thanks for the reply normis. It is very much appreciated. I multi boot my machine, and I have a perfectly clean version of Windows 7 with no other programs on it. I too thought that this might be the issue as the fellow who helped set it up the router to begin with never seemed to have an issue conn...

Thanks pleskin, but I have done that. I have followed the instructions here: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Initial_MAC_Winbox_Connection ....

TDPsGM

Thanks plisken.

Where do I go to see if there IS ever a new firmware for the RB450G, and how do I install it if I find it?

TDPsGM

I apologize for bumping this, but does anyone have any clue as to why this is 'timing out'?

TDPsGM

Thanks so much for the help plisken. It seems very hard to get help on this forum (much of the time) if you are new to RouterOS and MikroTik. I am reading online manuals, but they are NOT that helpful much of the time. The answer to your question about the firmware is in my other post here but I am ...

Logging in via winbox under the routerboard selection I see this: Routerboard firmware upgrade.png Now I am running v5.23 What does Current version 2.27 mean? What will upgrading to version 3.02 do for me? If I click "Upgrade" will it do it automatically, or does the device have to be conn...

TDPsGM

Is there anyone that can answer this as the manual is REALLY not very clear on it at all.

Assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

TDPsGM

The manual for the RB450G here: http://routerboard.com/pdf/326/rb450GugA.pdf . . . on page 9 says that the S301 button Loads the backup boot loader. I thought that I read somewhere that it was v3.x 1) Is there any way to confirm what VERSION it is that gets loaded? 2) Is this the button on the side ...

I was able to get Bandwidth tracking set up. Whether this was the correct way to do it or not I have NO IDEA, but this seems to be working for now: For what it is worth, I have set the IP for each user in the DHCP Server>Leases, and then created a "Queue" list that has the MAC as the Name ...

TDPsGM

Ultimately I'd like to be able to: 1. Monitor Bandwidth usage per user (Sounds like I have to ID them via MAC address because somewhere in the manual or on the forum I had read that doing it via IP address (even if that IP was Statically set to THAT MAC) was not really the "right" way to d...

TDPsGM

Wow, I can't believe it took me this long to get back to it. I finally have put the router back into the system to see if I can get it working properly. fewi: I hope you are still around to take a look at this.

TDPsGM

FYI - The caching issues that I was having seemed to have been fixed. Thanks for the fix guys! (running v5.22 now with this post).

TDPsGM

I sure hope they can get on this as I am starting to think about walking away. I don't want to, but I am tired of having to flush my DNS Cache every time I touch ANYTHING that has to do with information being streamed from Amazon S3 Storage. I basically have to leave Winbox open and minimized so tha...

TDPsGM

Have we made any headway on this issue?

It's been kinda quiet for a while, and I am regularly having to still clear the DNS cache to make it work.

Thanks.

TDPsGM

I am seeing it with OpenDNS right now too:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

TDPsGM

The above images were with regard to a specific bucket.

I don't know if this helps, but
this is just a couple of minutes later, and it can't resolve with my Amazon S3 Account as a whole now without clearing the DNS Cache:

Another VERY consistent reoccurring issue is using the 'Amazons S3 Browser' to go directly to your 'Amazon S3 Storage Buckets' to manage your files!

No, I was not trying to troubleshoot anything (yet). All I wanted to do was to be able to see who is currently online on the network at this very moment. I do not (at this moment) care which DHCP leases have been handed out in the last couple of days as this does not tell me which computer is online...

TDPsGM

Did you check Your Interface arp property?

Where would I do this exactly?

Thanks again for the help.

TDPsGM

Sorry for bumping this, but does anyone have any idea here?

Again thank you for help.

TDPsGM

Thanks fewi. I was tinkering with the lease times. (This is under IP / DHCP Server / and the "Expires After" column ) I set them to 10 minutes just to see what would happen. Initially it looked like if a computer signed on to the network that the timer would start counting down from that 1...

TDPsGM

you can check your arp list>> IP arp Or you can scan all IPs which in the same network of your router IP. Unless I am reading this wrong, does that not just show the leases that were handed out? If a certain machine connected and then left the network it would still show in this list ( at least tha...

TDPsGM

As per the image that I have attached: The 2 lines that you see in the picture are for the same machine. Prior to this machine being connected to the network I knew what the MAC address was and wanted to assign it a STATIC IP. So I have preconfigured the router with what you see. When it was connect...

Yep, I knew I needed to do that (as per my signature - which I need to change because practically the next day 5.8 came out). I am coming off of big box store routers and trying to get something with a little more capability. A friend set this up for me a number of months ago and I am just getting a...

I do, but the IP is being delivered by the Router Dynamically. Dynamic=yes
Try setting the the IP to an IP of 'your' choosing and tell me what happens.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate the help. Q1: Check your knowledge with http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/DHCP_Server Caller Id is not too important in basic setting.
