Could not get index: fatal error

RouterOS General
1

Searching some around for the problem, but dont find any realy good answer in the forum to the winbox message: Could not get index: fatal error

This apper when i try to connect to routeros trough winbox by IP. If I connect directly to the wirelessAP, i can get contact by mac address, or by serial cable. It seems like an issue related to IP addres. There are also an error in ssh/telnet web: just get the error: Connection closed by foreign host (telnet to port 21,22,23 and 80) (i think this is related)

Anyone that have an idea of what this can be? I have gone trough the whole AP, and cant find any access list etc that should make the “error”. I have tried from different PC’s and “dirrerent IP’s” (at bridge, ether1, PPPoE and wlan1), but still cant connect.

I run RouterOS 3.0rc13 with level4. It seems like it is an issue in erlier version to (it is written some in the forum earlier)

i was going to post a similar problem.

mine says: “could not get plugin index!” in 2.9.6
i just upgraded to 3.0rc13 and STILL the same error

If i change the IP to be dynamic so the hotspot server gives me the IPs then i can connect using 10.0.0.1
but if i try to connect with my PC being static and one of the routeros interfaces being 192.168.0.2 i get this error.

[admin@Shahrazad] /ip address> print

 1   10.0.0.1/8         10.0.0.0        10.255.255.255  ether2

[admin@Shahrazad] /ip address>

again…
it makes no sense cause ether1 is .02 and i should connect to it fine.
but i cant. i can only connect by going to 10.0.0.1 by doing my pc dhcp and getting ip from hotspot dhcp server.

I see U have an I flag - inavlid to the address on the wlan interface. May this be the issue? i’ll check mine to see if there may be som invalid IP’s (dont think so)

May it be an BUG?

I too get this error when trying to connect on a non-standard port.

I have had same problem on my v3.16 on RB433.
Winbox access routerboard only per MAC
I try to secure my routerboard and I set in IP->Service for winbox to be aviable From 192.168.0.0/24. (There is wrong mask.)
After I return settings back to 0.0.0.0/0, problem has ben solved.
I try also 192.168.0.0/16. That works OK.

I am getting this error too.
My routeros is at version 3.25 ( RB433 ).
