What does "does not work" mean? Is it an instant timeout, or do you wait forever?
I've seen that on low-end Mikrotiks, the web GUI can take quite a bit of resources and time to load.
It's possible that Safari might decide to time out, while other browsers ride through.

Strangely enough, my solution was to apply ssh compression to an already-compressed (Tight)VNC protocol. ssh -C has provided worlds of stability! I'm no longer worried about crashing the Mikrotik remote-displaying a console session. I'm typically doing this over links that have <5Mb/s links, so filt...

I'm using ssh port forwarding through a one-CPU Mikrotik (usually a 751U-2HnD) to access VNC servers at the remote end. The client isn't busy. The server isn't busy. But, the poor CPU on the Mikrotik spikes to the point where occasionally it bogs down, resets. Has anyone else seen this sort of thing...

I have a few Mikrotiks configured as simple NTP servers using the optional NTP package, like so: [2400@baud] /system ntp server> print enabled: yes broadcast: no multicast: no manycast: no broadcast-addresses: [2400@baud] /system ntp client> print enabled: yes mode: unicast primary-ntp: x.x.x.1 seco...

I upgrade an RB751U from 6.30 to 6.30.1 and it no longer acts as an NTP server. Were there changes in the 6.30.1 NTP server package that might not show up in the changelog since it's optional?? Perhaps it's an install issue?? I went from 6.30 to 6.30.1 by: /system packages update Every package appe...

There's no longer a pointer to Winbox 2 from http://www.mikrotik.com/download I inadvertently grabbed this as I was setting up a solution involving some Mikrotiks. This seems more like an 'alpha' release than a late beta -- crashy, doesn't save sessions, etc. NOT GOOD. I'd strongly encourage Mikroti...

What's new in 6.15 (2014-Jun-12 12:25): *) fixed upgrade from v5 - on first boot all the optional packages were disabled; *) fixed problem where sntp server could not be specified in winbox & webfig; *) metarouter - make openwrt work on ppc metarouter again; Are these the only 3 fixes, or is th...

Are there other features/fixes in wireless-fp that make it worth using if you don't care about CAPsMAN?
Has anyone fixed a wifi problem by going from 'wireless' to 'wireless-fp'?

I have the NTP Server from all_packages-mipsbe-6.11.zip installed and working on my RB-751. I wanted to debug something, so I enable ntp debug logging -- something I've done with other services many times before. Nothing gets logged. Is there a "topics" setting besides "ntp" I sh...

I've the same problem - flash I/O can take 100% of CPU.

You're not alone.

I saw a similar flooding of messages with a Nook Color.

I'd argue that the logging for that message shouldn't be at "info" level but more like debug.

I'm seeing the same thing -- 100% CPU spikes on my RB751U-2HnD running 5.22, associated with 'flash' in the profiler. There's a dozen or so clients on the network at a given time, largely doing low-bandwidth stuff through their ISP. The only thing I use to poll the router is Winbox itself, which I s...

I've run into this behavior a couple times, too, under 5.12 and 5.14. I added a simple queue to limit the bandwidth to/from a particular IP and it didn't limit the bandwidth. The first time, I simply rebooted the Mikrotik and the simple queue started working. The next time, I disabled the queue, reb...

Anyone ever managed to get the BlackBerry's IPSEC VPN client to talk to a Mikrotik? At least on the BB I'm looking at, running OS5, it looks like a giant PITA. The Blackberry has a bunch of different IPSEC VPN concentrator vendors listed -- Cisco, Avaya, Nortel, etc.. You select the vendor of the co...

Hi, Right now on ROS 5.14 and apparently l2tp+ipsec (preshared key) + client behind NAT doesn't work. When the client isn't behind NAT everything goes smoothly... Did anyone ever managed to get the above setup (client behind NAT) working?? I can confirm that L2TP+IPSEC+PSK+NAT-T+ ROS 5.14 works jus...

The out-of-the-box "guest" access is case sensitive, which seems like a bug. On a Mac running 10.6.8, when I connect to the Mikrotik share as "Guest" from the Finder, it actually connects as "GUEST". The Mikrotik SMB implementation expects "guest" and fails. H...

netstat -f inet is probably what you want

Intel doesn't make much of an effort to sync their drivers to upstream Linux kernel source. What's in the Linux kernel is basically "enough to get you up and running". Note that many distros use the drivers from Intel directly rather than from the Linux kernel. I don't have nearly enough d...

Hi .. I had the same problem when using IPsec/L2TP and NAT-T I resolved this by changing the IPsec > Peer > Exchange Mode from "main" to "main l2tp" This revision allows the the FQDN as the peer ID with preshared key authorization in main mode; Cheers, Luke I take it you're talk...

me to have this kind of problem and i must restart my router to make the user get the speed i want!!!! I had something like that happen to me today. I have precisely one simple queue that I set up on this router, to limit a particular IP address to 512k so it doesn't suck up a DS1's worth of bandwi...

Is this Cisco's SSL/AnyConnect VPN or their older IPSec offering?
By "browse" do you mean "go to web pages" or "SMB/CIFS browsing" (or something else)?

Do you have the AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule registry setting on the Windows 7 end?
You need that setting to do NAT Traversal.

Some sites limit bandwidth or number of downloads by IP address.

...a true round-robin option when it comes to the src-address for the web proxy.

I that per-client or per-connection?

Per-connection.

I know there's PCC, but that does things based off a hash, not true round robin.

I'd like to second that request.

On a related note, I'd also like there to be a true round-robin option when it comes to the src-address for the web proxy.

I just ran into this with XP behind a NAT.

It'd be good to get a workaround in RouterOS, because there's still plenty of XP out there.

ROS 5.8
IPSec and IPSec/L2TP does not work with Mac OS X. Works fine with windows and linux.

I just set up MacOS 10.6.8 as an L2TP/IPSec client to ROS 5.8.
It seems to work ok.

It'd sure be nice to support SOCKS5 for IPv6 purposes.
