assigned to the same interface;

*) fixed dns cache, it could stop working
*) added server-name and interface-name variables in hotspot servlet pages;
*) fixed bonding, works better with wds slaves

nstreme/framer-policy/encryption are used;

introduced in 2.9.13;

Upgraded from 2.9.11 and OSPF don’t redistribute routes beetween different areas… any change in configuration or a bug ??? It is x86 version

I have just upgraded from 2.9.13 and MSN/Skype stopped working.

Please update the manual so that these new settings / possibilities can be understood!

And what is a “wds slave”? Does it have anything to do with wireless? I am using bonding in 2.9.11 and it seems to work quite well… is this workin better also for ordinary LAN nic’s?

An implementation of VRRP that works would be welcome! It needs to be able to take over the MAC addresses as well.

me too

Does 2.9.16 fix the 64mb NAND problem?

I have a few older ones that I’ve been waiting to upgrade.

Thanks,
Richard

After upgrade if use NAT must modify connection tracking TCP send/receive timeout to 00:01:00. The deafault in 2.9.16 not correct.

Good one BLT, just got back online! Thanks!

I don’t have any Skype stuff to test with, but MSN appears to be working OK. I only tested text chat so far though.

Edit: just saw your reply… I’m not using any NAT, pure routing/PPPoE

Since I did what BLT suggested above, everything’s working fine.

Strange thing is that once I upgraded to .16, the connection tracking change is done. I tried rolling back to .14, but the new connection tracking were kept, and I still could not connect.

It affected Skype, MSN, Soulseek and outbound SMTP.
HTTP, FTP and inbound SMTP were not affected.

MSN Skype etc stopped working for me too!!!

Changed as per previous post to 1min and fixed it!

Sorry,

Where is this connection tracking TCP send/receive timeout located?

it is located in:

/ip firewall connection tracking print

I think it is better to set it to 10s max, with 1m you could have too many defective cobbections in your connection tracking table

Try to change these connection tracking values!!!

If problem still persist create another topic with the configuration description!

Problem persist :frowning:
