Thanks,

I have implemented this. However for some reasons my sip trunks seems to be having trouble with registering.

Please can someone help me. I am struggling with something so simple. I have my mikrotik as my main router in the office. Currently all traffic is NATed out of my PPPoE_1 Client connection.

Zapnologica

Thank you so much for saying i must add a dhcp client on the interface.

I have been searching for a good hour now and no where does it say to add a dhcp client to the interface.

Works like a charm now.

Zapnologica

Are there any work a rounds or solutions to this? From my understanding, If the 3G modem on the usb is the main internet connection. I cannot remotely reboot the router because when it power back on there will be no modem? I am also having trouble getting the PPP Client working. I plugged the usb in...

Zapnologica

This is no good,

I also just bought the RB2011UiAS purely for USB modem support.

My usb is also not showing up.

Has this hardware problem possibly been rectified on any revisions or newer models?

Would a usb Hub inline help solve this problem?

Does script and scheduler not run the same scripting language?

Ok sweet, It is working now in scheduler.

Zapnologica

This works in the terminal but not in a script?

am I doing something wrong? im running v6.26

/interface pppoe-clinet disable Test

if I put that in a script and click run, nothing happens, put it in the terminal and it disables the interface?

Zapnologica

Any Ideas on what that specific script might look like? I haven't got much experience with the scripting language.

Zapnologica

Also, Could there be two mac addresses for one user profile?

Say Phone and laptop? Or Wireless / Wired adapter same user but different devices.

Zapnologica

Can you elaborate on that?

So can I basically have the following scenario?

If an unknown mac occurs, user the Guest user profile is used,

Otherwise I can manually add / assign macs to different profiles?

Zapnologica

How can I bind a certain IP / mac address to a hotspot user so that they do not have to physically login every time?

I know you can bypass by a mac address but then that data is not accounted for.

Is there a way and if so how do I go about doing it? This would make my life allot easier.

Zapnologica

Did any of you ever find the issue?

I am experiencing this issue now on a hotspot I set-up for a bead and breakfast?

Are you wanting to store these values on the actual RB, or on a pc some where.

Zapnologica

Shouldn't my firewall block every port unless I have opened it?
Either with a nat rule or simply by masquerading?

Zapnologica

Ok thanks,

While Im at it,

What other important firewall rules should I have on my router?

Zapnologica

Yes Thanks,

I figured that one.

So I just duplicate that rule for my 3 public interfaces.

Zapnologica

Could I replace not LAN with the public interface name?

Zapnologica

How Do I do that?

Does this mean that some one is using my router as a DNS server?

I have added a temp firewall rule to drop incoming to port 53, But then will this not disable me to do dns resolution as well?

I noticed something weird earlier today, My one dsl line is current not active (ie there are no devices routing through it). It is my backup line.

Zapnologica

Ok yes I can find my routes there,

But how do I determine / tell it which route to go out?

I need to give it a routing mark or something to that effect dont I?

Zapnologica

This is great.

Thank you so much,

Where do you change the routing? Or how do you decide your routing?

I cant see in the script which part does that?

Zapnologica

Maybe you can use two different addresses for fetching and route each thru the corresponding gateway. Then you will know both ip addresses. Or always change the routing before fetching. Then one address will be sufficient. How would I use two different addresses? Does dyndns have multiple IP addres...

Zapnologica

the theory is simple: supposed: 1) no one other settings are wrong 2) all work flawlessly 3) there are no other rule than contraddict you can 1)You must mark route on prerouting chain coming from the source you want redirected. 2)on route table you can add 0.0.0.0/0 --> IP isp2 where routing mark=t...

Zapnologica

Any ideas on how to possibly do this.

I need to achieve this, as I am routing my SIP trunks out of a different gateway, and they require a host name so that they can reverse connect.

So ie my one script needs to update the VoIP gateway, and the other script the normal internet gateway.

Zapnologica

Ok I currently have what you have mentioned.

Are you talking about "/system logging" and the "topics=e-mail" entry? That only puts e-mail server entries in the log. It doesn't email anything. Nope, that is what logs email entires, If u go System loggin actions u can add a new action, type email; u chose the to address. Then u can make certain...

under system, logging you can add a log type called email, where it emails you the log, now when that log tries to email me, it is ov not adding the " tls=yes " at the end of the command. Any way i can do that? I think mikrotik needs to add it in v5 rOS, under tools e-mail u must choose encryption o...

Zapnologica

Oh,

google must just change it then.

So now how do i set tls=yes like globaly,

Cause i cant do anything with email besides when i manualy type in to send a message,

cause it needs to say tls=yes, and when a log tries to send a email it dont do that.

Zapnologica

Well,

if i put "hello" in the from it still sends, no errors on router.

Comes into inbox from info@zapotel.co.za though not as "Hello" but no errors.

How do i set tls=yes for every thing?

can i just clarify what ip to use for smtp server?

Isnt there like just a open smtp server

that can send any thing:

For the server i put in smtp.gmail.com and it dns'd it.

I have a feeling thats the problem?

Does it matter if it have to have the < > on ends?

Set your "from" email address to something sensible, but it does not need to be a real email address that exists,

thats also in the wiki?
