Hi There, Can anyone help with the following. I want to create an Ip Web proxy access rule that appends "?safe=active" to all google searches. So http://www.google.com would redirect http://www.google.com?safe=active I have tried this /ip proxy access add action=deny disabled=no dst-host=*...

davidw

Ok thanks for the clarification.

Am I right in thinking that not all fields are returned via get all command which under a normal terminal session would be ?

I have come across a few examples where this is the case

davidw

In the API manual it talks about the fields that are being returned using the proplist. It then goes on to say that using the proplist is a good thing especially if the "=detail" argument is set. How does the ="detaills" argument work? /ip/hotspot/ip-bindings/getall =details=true...

I have an Omnitik that also will not upgrade POE firmware from 1.0 to 2.0. What is going on... this problem has been reported over a year now and still no resolution? Not only have MTK support not fixed this problem, but they also have FAILED to provide a work around . Also, what is the latest POE ...

davidw

Is it just me or does the POE on the OmniTik not work reliably ? I have 2 of them and have 5.25 loaded on both. Firmware 3.07 and POE Firmware 2.1 on one of them and 1.0 on the other. The reason I have only version 1.0 on one of them is because the upgrade command (/interface ethernet poe settings u...

davidw

Hi There,

+1 for me re: not being able to upgrade the poe firmware from 1.0 to 2.1.

RouterOS : v5.25
Firmware : 3.07

Anyone got any solutions to this ?

POE seems very flakey.

Sometimes works sometimes does not.

+1 for me exact same problems.

Ipad speedtest is good (25MB down / 2MB up) but results in poor streaming of videos on all IOS devices.

Apparently it's not possible. Mikrotik confirmed this.

davidw

did you have any luck with this in the end ?

I too just setup an omnitik with sxt using nv2. Very slow speeds over 2km link nothing in the way .

Can summarize your settings ?

davidw

Ok have changed the import process of the dude file - Version 1.05 is now available for download.
Also fixed issue when typeid column is not available in your dude file.

davidw

Ok let me try and reproduce the problem my free version says "An error occured loading the Dude XML file, column TypeID does not belong to table device" and the xml file is only 8mb :) That was a bug in an earlier version...which version do you have now ? Try downloading the latest versio...

davidw

An error occured loading the Dude XML file:

Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
System has 6gb of ram, currently using 3.6gb so that shouldn't be a problem.

Can I ask you how many devices you have in your Dude database ?

davidw

Ok let me try and reproduce the problem

davidw

Can anyone confirm if POE from a HP Procurve 2610 will work with outerboard 433 ?

Hey davidw

The software doesn't seem to work on dude backups above a certain size.
Ours comes out at 620~Mb and crashes the app when I try to use it.

Ok that's interesting....do you have a specific error message ?

Hi, Ok so Can I ask a few more questions ? Do you use the dude and do you store the username and passwords in the dude? Also, are all of your routers listening on ssh port 22 ?

Can you use regular expressions in Mikrotik Scripting ?

This would indicate that there is nothing wrong with the internet connection but rather some sort of hot...

davidw

Ok found a solution - If you change the probe drop down box to all instead of "Virtual Memory" it fixes it.

davidw

We are also having the same problem.

We did work out that you can open up a device and double click on the services tab and view the outage history that way.

But as far as the outage tab from any device, or the main outage tab on the left handside in the dude main menu....GONSKY !

Any ideas ?

Has the feature been implemented yet ?

I too want to be able to run a script after a system reset

Some thing like

would be nice.

davidw

Hi There,

Does anyone know if you can use the router as a web client to access a web page on internal LAN.

eg if some page was active here

You could click on it.

Hi There,

I have a hotspot with multiple users connecting.

Is there a way of tracking down which computer is sending all the spam ?

Perhaps enabling a log etc ?

Thanks in advance

Just to make sure you know, since you made the 100 sites comment -- I only edit the web server pages, every MT load has the same exact pages. I actually drag and dorp the two files (login & status) from a running MT to a new one and thats all I do to the pages, the code is identical because it ...

davidw

Yep - sends it back to the MT hotspot so unless you have a sniffer monitoring a port on my switched network you will never see it. Furthermore, if you were able to do that you wouldn't waste your time like this because the wireless side is easier to pick off usernames, mac addresses etc. The way I ...

davidw

This isn't exactly what you asked for, but it may be what you wanted any way... You can have MT use an external web page (one on your web server) and validate the user yourself externally then once validated pass back to MT for continued service. In this manner you can customize everything the user...

davidw

I think you'll need a static route on the dsl router (it looks like from your config that it is actually acting as a router and doing NAT) for 10.0.0.0/24 to 192.168.1.1. I'm assuming you have a default gateway AP2 pointing to AP1. The problem is that when you ping from AP2 to 192.168.1.254, the pi...

any soloution to your problem. I have the same problem

Yep I can confirm that adding an entry to the dns server works.

it just beta, wait for couple months will be ready .do you think IPV6 is now common? so we have time to try it.
