Stupidly broke my rb1200

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

OK, I had a routerboard 1200 responding on eth1 to the IP 192.168.88.1

I accidentally dropped this interface, rendering the entire machine useless.

I don’t have a serial port on my laptop, let alone the inevitable mess of cables.

Now I’ve booted with the reset button pressed, with the reset jumper shorted, with both, with neither. I once managed to get eth1 stay up, however it didn’t respond to the address 192.168.88.1

I don’t own a windows pc, however I do have a dhcp and tftp setup on my laptop which I use to build servers.

How can I rescue it?

Thanks

Winbox tool can connect to router using MAC address. If you manage to connect in this way, you can set back IP address or reset configuration.

(I’m aware of the irony of the mis-spelt subject, I blame the jet lag)

So will that work when plugged into any of the ports?

It will work with any of ethernet ports if Winbox is not blocked by firewall.
