Hai,
Try to upgrade FW with serial connection

1. downlod newest FW from http://www.routerboard.com
2. upload it with serial connection and HyperTerminal windows program

after complete reboot your router

Hai fren, :wink:
I hope you will solve your problem by this way, and you must connect to it with serial null modem cable, last time ago i have problem like yours, and about it, i wrote at my site here: http://www.hasbullah.com/cgi-bin/r/db?product=RB500

Hello

Appears board is still under warrenty and i left it with supplier. I would have liked to however try it but its too late now. if they cant sort it out i will give it a try. As a matter of interest where on mikrotik do i find the *.ftw file. Could not find it in the latest firmware download.
