Hi, everyone–
Is anyone else having this problem? I am running winbox64.exe on Wine 9 stable on macos Monterey. It runs fine if I connect by IPv4 address, but the one use case for which I really need winbox64.exe is when the RouterBoard is only accessible via MAC address. Sadly, for whatever reason, winbox64.exe never sees any Neighbors by MAC address (or IP address).
I get this output at the command line:
wine64 winbox64.exe
creating Window Class routeros_null
creating Window Class routeros_connect

It continues indefinitely. The error code 10048 seems to indicate port already in use, but it does not indicate which port. Also, it is likely that this is a built-in extra security feature of macos blocking access to the port. I tried running wine64 as root with sudo but it won’t start up because root doesn’t have a home directory into which it can write a .wine configuration folder.
If you’ve figured out how to get around this, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
