it's the latest, 6.44.2, RB750Gr3

Then that's not the reason

For some reason I still get stuck at status: connecting.. Maybe a configuration problem on my side ?

ROS version?

Re: The problem is with an arbitrary change of authentication method courtesy of Mikrotik. re pre 6.40 I'm not up to speed with ROS version and authentication changes. What part of authentication does not work properly after an upgrade ? Take a look at: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&...

6.43.8 works for me to this btest server -and- 6.43.12 works for me to this btest server -and- 6.44 works for me to this btest server I am running many routers with pre 6.40 and those I have tried don't connect. The problem is with an arbitrary change of authentication method courtesy of Mikrotik. ...

Just tried yor btest and am getting: /tool bandwidth-test 87.121.0.45 user=neterra password=neterra direction=both status: can not connect duration: 0s etc. I your btest server also demanding a latest version of ROS? If so it makes it somewhat unusable for me and many I know.

Here is a possible solution.

I noticed setting "255.255.255.255" value to "DNS Server" field of PPP profile prevents DNS assign in Windows XP and Windows 10.

Interesting. I will give that a try. THANKS!!

Yeah, and the problems vanished for a bunch of other around these parts too. This issue with the 2s has cost Mikrotik dearly in reputation. They took way too long to take it seriously. I no longer sing their praises.

This update note came from Mikrotik. I followed it and my problems vanished. We have made some improvements for Metal 2SHPn could you please upgrade your metal 2 firmware by uploding this file http://www.mikrotik.com/download/share/ar7240_3_17_2_Metal_2SHPn.fwf to router then go in "/system rou...

Try upgrading firmware to 3.17.2. It fixed all my problems.

Yes, mine appears to be a different problem. With my link problems I have two metals either end of a link. The longest is 16Km. When the connection fails the registration vanishes. I can reproduce the problem 100% by causing one end to send maximum throughput for a long time. It is always the TX end...

So that's a no then ....

Thanks. Ill have a play, but in my case the registration vanishes so I am not sure I will be able to read the value.

If someone is interested I can post it here. I am interested. I am having lots of issues with metal 2GHz units in a number of point to point links and would like to see if your detection works in my situation. I currently use a path ping timeout detection. I have no problems with metal 5GHz units o...

HNY!

Is there any way to change/write to the bytes counters in simple queues?

I know how to read the values, and how to clear the counters, but I have not been able to find a way to write to the bytes counters.

Sadly - no.

I sort out with it setting dns-server=8.8.8.8 in my ppp profile.

Its not a solution or a workaround. I want no DNS, so setting the Google DNS doesnt help at all.

I have set up a reverse proxy in a similar manner to that described at http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Multiple_Web_Servers and it is working well. I am redirecting external requests to distributed servers on a VPN based VLAN using the PPTP server on the same router as a hub. There are around 50 serve...

I know this is an old topic but ... Has this problem been fixed yet? Having the router assign DNS when no DNS is defined in the PPP profile goes against all sense and must be a bug. Most PPP clients, including ROS, do not have the ability to refuse a DNS allocation without defining a replacement. Su...

Thanks for the guess. I found the problem. I have a NAT line in place which rewrites source IP addresses for internal IPs accessing LAN resources through the router by using the WAN address. I have found this necessary to make e.g. web server log files report the correct target and source addresses....

An update. It seems the transfer problem is as a result of the ftp server being on the LAN that the router routes. The router will ftp using fetch to an external (extranet) ftp server, but not to the internal (LAN based) one. I can ftp transfer to/from my ftp server from outside (extranet) and from ...

I can see how you would think there was sometning wrong with the ftp server, but it is also possible that fetch only works with ftp servers that behave in a certain way, using only a subset of the ftp protocol. Ftp servers are allowed to do connect announcements, and many do, but clearly fetch doesn...

Yes, did all that. I managed to get fetch to logon by disabling the connect announcement on the ftp server. That is not something I want to do permanently, but at least it proves that fetch is being confused by the connect announcement. Now fetch logs on OK but wont upload the file. It creates the f...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, you would think that would work, but fetch with mode=ftp and upload=yes is not robust and does not appear to deal properly with valid ftp server connect response texts. It gives "Unrecognized FTP server response" each time. I suspect it is not waiting for the 220...

I am trying to find a way to regularly export backup files from my router (5.16) to a server on the LAN the router is connected to. The server has a working FTP server installed, and I have tried the router FTP client, but that seems quite broken because it always responds with "Unrecognized FT...

So 3.6 it is then ... Sigh.

You can configure the level of detail you wish to keep, and for how long: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:The_Dude/Server_settings#Chart For example, if you don't need the 5minute averages (quite detailed) you need to increase the 1Day keep time, and decrease the 5Min keep time, and so on. So ...

Lots of effort going into whizbangery in V4, but nothing on the basics yet.

I just upgraded from V3.6 to V4beta3. Most of Dude seems OK but traffic charting has now become a NIGHTMARE. The old 3.6 charts had good scaling controls and did proper averaging for the longer periods, but the new charts have poor scaling controls and non-existant or very poor averaging for longer ...

Can somebody please point me to a list of dude.exe command line parameters?

I know about dude.exe --connect [serverip] [username] [password] which gives me a "remote" connection. but how do I connect via command line for a "secure" connection?

The blobs are trees!
