I have done that, windows firewall is off, but still the same problem, I have to wait almost a minute to appear something on my winbox....if I"m lucky. The bottom line is: if I don"t now the ip of the mikrotik i can not acces the device wia winbox.

Hello,

are you running virtualbox on windows 7 by chance?

I had that problem as well. Somewhere in the forum, someone suggested disabling the virtualbox interface.

I did that and now I do not have problems.

If you are not running virtualbox, then I am not sure.
