hi, i'm running a RouterBOARD 532 and need some routing advice. on ether1, i have our satellite internet connection set up. it receives it's IP etc., via DHCP from the satellite. i have our LAN set up on ether2. it consists of a wireless router and several switches. the wireless router is not set up...

DOH! the device i was trying to port forward to was set to accept only incoming connections from the same subnet. i changed that and i'm in business!

thanks for all your advice!

hi, i ran a packet sniffer when accessing the computer from the same subnet (where it is successful) and see that the traffic from the source computer comes out of port 1143 and is destined for port 8443 on the computer i'm trying to port forward to. replies to the source computer go from port 8443 ...

hi,

the to-address does have the private IP of the computer i'm trying to access. do i need to explicitly state the WAN IP or is ether1 sufficient.

thanks,
dave

hi, i entered the string replacing "WAN" with ether1 as it is the in-interface but i still don't appear to getting forwarded to the LAN device. the to-addresses= IP is the device i'm trying to get to from the WAN. the following is the entry from an /ip firewall nat print command: chain=dst...

hi, i need to know the basic command line commend to set up port forwarding. i've reviewed a lot of the posts but they seem to be more than what i need. what i need is the following: i have the mikrotik set up in router mode with NAT. i need to forward all requests to port 8443 on the WAN IP to port...

hi Chupaka,

i set /interface bridge settings set use-ip-firewall=yes and the bandwidth management started working again!

thanks for all the help from everyone!

hi, i'm running a routerboard 532a with a level 4 license. i use the "simple queues" section to limit user's bandwidth for uploads and downloads. this was all working very well until i upgraded from 2.09 to 3.24. now no matter what i set in the simple queue screen, all my users are not bei...

hi, i'm evaluating the routerboard hardware with the Mikrotik software but need to know one ting. i'd like to use it in a school environment and need it to filter all chat type traffic. i've purchased several Mikrotik/routerboard units but have not played with traffic shaping. the problem is the stu...

hi, my situation is i administer a small remote network. i am ready to ship my Routerboard 532a running 2.9.44 to the local service person but want to make sure before sending it that i can connect via winbox from my location. i've been reading the manual and it appears that i should be able to winb...

hi All,

thanks for all the replies, i wanted to dig deeper into this before replying. turns out adding the "/ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat action=masquerade" command and default route did the trick. the router passes traffic now!

thanks to everyone for their pointers,
dave

hi sorry for the delay, i haven't had internet access for several days. ether2 is connected to through an ethernet converter. it acts as a transparent bridge to the internet. i am using NAT but figured the router should keep track of individual sessions. one thing of note, i have not entered the def...

hi, i'm trying to set up a default route using my routerboard 532a. i'm running 2.9.44. the set up is as follows: ether1 is set to 192.168.0.45. ether2 is set to 207.102.11.30. my computer is directly connected to ether1 and has IP 192.168.0.30. ether2 is connected to the internet, default route is ...

hi All,

thanks to all for the replies, i used neighbor.zip to access the routerboard and set the IP. everything is working great!

thanks again everyone for the superb advice.

hi, i just purchased a routerboard 532a. from my understanding it has an OS already installed as well as level 4 license. i would like to administer it using winbox but need to give it an IP and whatever else required to get to the point of using winbox. i checked all the docs but can't seem to get ...

hi,

from my limited knowledge, yes. all i did was ftp the *.npk file to the RB, then rebooted the RB. i connect to the wired network which the RB is filtering through a 7 mile, 5.8/2.4 Ghz wireless hop.

hi,

the upgrade went very well, no settings were affected!

thanks for the confirmation on my upgrade questions.

hi, i would like to upload extra modules to my routerboard 532a but they are all v2.9.42 when my routerboard OS is v2.9.34. as a result, these newer version modules don't work. i need to upgrade my router OS to v2.9.42. i have a level 4 license. in the wiki, it has directions but it points to an &qu...

hi Craig,

it shows "v2.9.34", which is different than the version of user-manager (2.9.42). this is probably the problem then.

i currently have a level 4 license according to system/license.

how do i get my version of winbox up to v2.9.42 so it matches all the current modules?

tia,
dave

hi,

no, it doesn't show up under /system/packages.

it does show up if i do a "file print" so i know it did successfully FTP to the routerboard.

when i rebooted, i did so through winbox, not from CLI, would that make a difference?

tia,
dave

hi Equis,

this accounting package sounds like exactly what i need. i don't see it available with all the other packages on the Mikrotik.com download site. can you point me to the location where i can download the accounting package?

tia,
dave

hi again, this time i grabbed the correct user-manager module but it still won't load. the new message in the log is: system warning omitting package user-manager-2.9.42: newer package is already provided. ---------------------------------- i still can't got to the /tool user-manager customer menu t...

Thanks Craig!

hi, i'm using a routerboard RouterBOARD 532a and administer it using Winbox V2.9.34. two days ago, the routerboard reset itself clearing all counters. it appears it rebooted itself since uptime reflected that. however, i'm not sure why "simple queues" counters all reset during this time. w...

hi, i'm using a routerboard RouterBOARD 532a and administer it using Winbox V2.9.34. i need to create a user interface so users can check their own usage throughout the month. i thought the user manager module might do the trick but when i ftp it to the routerboard, then reboot, the log says: system...
