I have an RB 532 that suddenly started giving "could not get roting2.dll" errors when I tried accessing it with Winbox. SSH did not work, and neither did MAC Telnet from another RB. It was routing everything fine, but we could not go in to change something. This seemed to be a random CPU o...

Thanks for the reply. I'll keep that reset method in mind. Even thought it looks like resources are fine, it may be that things are happening in spikes that go by before the resource report shows them. To address possible resource issues, I am working on how to break things up into 2+ areas. It look...

I can't access router via their mac address MAC addresses only apply when dealing with a layer 2 connection, like two devices connected to the same switch. As for the ... button, it also can be limited to things connected to the same switch. Are you behind more than one router? Or are you behind on...

My apologies in advance. This is a long post due to the nature of how long it has taken me to discover just where I have a problem, and the fact that I don't have many thought on how to solve the problem. I am trying to cover any potential questions in advance. We have had trouble with OSPF for a wh...

Are you sure the issue is the card, and not the BIOS? If it won't allow an init13 boot loader to be loaded, that would cause issues. Did you just stick it in and try it, or did you also disable the onboard SATA? If your card is old enough, IRQ jumpers/conflict. Oh, and might try a LINUX distro and s...

OK. Now I understand.

You stated it just fine, I read it wrong.

Have you tried using a cable where the power pairs are not terminated? If that makes it work, then your injector may be feeding power out both sides.

A VOM could tell you the same thing.

So the router is off, you plug it in and it shorts?

Or is there something I am missing?

Firewall?

OSPF settings?

I was playing around with the windows version of the bandwidth tester myself, and got some very odd results that did not match with doing simple FTP tests through the same paths.

Interesting. Well, I did nothing special in Ethereal, but who knows if they made any changes when they built Packetyzer.

As for only seeing things from the remote capture, you can filter for that.

From the manual under HotSpot Gateway, HotSpot Active Users:

keepalive-lost (read-only: time) - how much time past since last packed [sic] from the client has been received

Yes, you can.

You would need to find out what ports that MSN Messenger works on. Then you can use queues to prioritize all traffic, and give the MSNM queue a higher priority (lower number) than the other traffic.

Is that the one that is a re-packaged Ethereal? I think so. For Ethereal, you just start sending on the MikroTik end, and start capturing on the local end. In Winbox, Tools > Packet Sniffer. Go to settings, and set up the streaming. That will send the packets you sniff on the MT to some destination....

I am looking at some complex queues to control P2P software, improve QoS, and shape bandwidth on a per user basis. First I am doing a connection mark and passthrough to allow me to tag the assorted traffic. This just does the basic separation of traffic types. Then I mark and accept the users traffi...

Are you sure OSPF is dying? Is there any chance that OSPF is working, but not doing what you intend it to do? If OSPF is just failing to work as you think it should, you could post an export of your OSPF configurations, with some notes as to what is hooked up to what, and how. Then people could look...

I'm not telling him to remove masquerading, I'm telling him to try whether it'll work without Linksys or not, nothing else. If it won't he must configure Linksys properly. You did say to remove masquerading in your Tue Jun 21, 2005 2:24 am post when you wrote "seems like you need to disable/re...

why would I need to remove rule # 1. Rule #0 matches this customers src-address, and anything else gets matched by rule #1. With this rule enabled your other clients will not get VoIP working. Try to remove Linksys router -- it's probably not mapping needed ports Roman, you are telling him to remov...

In older units, I have had them both in at the same time. However, that was a Soekris board running the trial licence without any wireless cards in it.

In previous versions I have seen both wireless and wireless-legacy seperatly. If the latest versions change the name of wireless-legacy, it is something I am not aware of. When I cut down the packages, and did upgrades, and re-installs as part of all this, I installed just the small set listed above...

Since 2.8.22 came out yesterday, I upgraded to that.

All nstreme options now show up properly.

It is wireless, not wireless-legacy.

I did a system reset when I got them. I am now down to the following packages: advanced-tool ntp routerboard routing security system web-proxy wireless All version 2.8.21 The following drivers are listed: Atheros AR5211 PCI NationalSemiconductors DP8381x Just did another system reset to clear out al...

It came with everything, so when I updated I loaded everything to make sure it all got updated. I then disabled many things that were not needed. I will see if the legacy is in there and running.

I do not know about the MikroTik wireless cards, but with some other equipment we have had we saw some trends that might give you a rule of thumb. Anything worse than -85 signal, and we began to see issues, even if there was no noise. The receiver sensitivity will have a lot to do with this, and you...

Came with 2.8.20, when I did not see it I tried 2.8.21.

Are there any particular requirements for nstreme? We were trying to set up a p2p link as a transparent bridge. First time doing it with MT rather than some off the shelf bridge. I wanted to get a RB/3F1 and ordered through Wind Wireless. But they do not carry the RB/3F1, and on the phone said I wou...

I found it last night. The gateway on one of the two test machines was wrong. It worked fine once corrected. After I fixed that, I set up anoher MT, and a pair of wireless backaul links. I was then able to set up RIP, and go from machine to MT over backhaul to MT to other machine, no problems. So I ...

I have been using MikroTik RouterOS as a transparent bandwidth shaper and P2P controller for some time. All of this is being done with bridged ports. Now I decided to set up a regular ol' router, and it is not working. I am certain I have missed something simple, but I am not sure what. The computer...

wjw, thanks for the info. I'll be going through that soon and see how it all works for me. mag, look into Mini-ITX motherboards. You can get ones with built in fanless CPUs running a lot faster than the MikroTik Routerboard or the Soekris. Then you buy the MikroTik RouterOS on an IDE flash that plug...

I am trying to use MikroTik as a bandwidth shaper inside an existing wireless network. Because I already have a Soekris 4521 that is not presently being used for anything, I am using it for my first platform. The existing topology is this: Access points at different sites connect to a mix of router ...
