Hey guys....

Can you please make a change to the CHANGELOG?

Hi Marius....RESDISTRIBUTE CONNECTED is NO on both RIP and OSPF.

i didnt have time to do some work in the basement tonight; will try tomorrow.

I'll get a suppout too

this is confusing me more and more...I'll look at it again tonight. SO the RIP routes are being imported as statics? I think I even disabled redistributing statics and nothing happened

anything else you can think of?

can someone explain why I am getting these ping failures when I can ping from the box dude is running on?

ALso, you need to rethink the windows server component please

definitely different than watchguards

the policies define the local networks on each side. If I attempt to traceroute from the router across the tunnel it goes out the default route to the internet.

Obviously I am missing something

There was a 4.6 version that would not error out but the stuff it installed didn't work (boot properly,etc). Then they said they fixed it again after I sent a message. Then they released 4.6 and reverted to an old non-working version.

IMHO they need better s/w control mechanisms.

I grabbed the "NEW" netinstall-4.6.zip from the download page and guess what? it doesn't work, AGAIN. The date on the .exe is 2/9/10. COme on guys, please get your release mechanism straight. Also, I request the following: 1. everything should have info on the version x.y.z in an ABOUT or ...

As a former embedded engineer I would predict it's hanging off the parallel port. SOmeone on the forum made an early post about that?

Thanks

UPDATE: MTK says WG has a problem. I say WG is not problem since I can boot original WG CF. I found a laptop drive with v3.30 on it and it boots in the WG. So while that solves my initial issue, does not serve long-term as I need to use CFs. I added the LCD package and while I see what looks like th...

wa4zlw

UPDATE: BAD NEWS---- Image seems to get to CF but doesn't boot. 1. CF as IDE -- files seem to get to flash but sometimes filesizes are 0 bytes. Was able to get a good load. Put into WG boots and after a few minutes reboots and thats it. Nothing out on serial port nor nothing seen by Winbox on a PC. ...

Hi Guys...

I stand corrected. I grabbed it from the wrong place.

It works. Thanks. Now I need to see if the image loads on the WG

Hi there!

Just DL'ed the file you told me about in the e-mail. Still fails same way.

Thanks, Leon

Hi there...

I'd prefer to get a copy NOW so I can test it and get moving on my project. I can not wait for yet another fix of the week.

THanks, Leon

wa4zlw

Normis...

Where are we on getting this resolved? My project is totally stopped until I can move forward. I am trying to introduce Mikrotik into the company I work for, PAETEC (a large CLEC/ILEC) and this doesn't bode well.

Please give us some status.

THanks leon

wa4zlw

I suggest you output some debugging to a .txt file to see what's happening. Also, 9 times out of 10 I keep getting logged out when I want to reply. It's possible that I am gettting timed out but I do successfully log back in but I try and report and get the logon prompt again.

Hi Normis...

sorry fails same way.

Leon

Just got to work. WIll try it tonight when I get home.

THanks!

take 3 (3rd attempt tp post)

Hi Normis: WHen will that be? I am working on a project at work with the WG and need to get moving ASAP.

No beta?

Thanks leon

wa4zlw

Any updates on this?

wa4zlw

8gb and 4gb CF fail.
4gb IDE (real disk) works
4gb CF as IDE fails (via CF--IDE adapter

wa4zlw

FYI fails for me as well -- I even tried formatting FAT32 first too and got same results.

wa4zlw

I can't test it till tonight but I see it already fails. May I suggest a debug version that outputs a log we can send you?

wa4zlw

FUrther update: Used an IDE --> CF adapter on another machine with exact same results. then tried going to an IDE drive (4gb) and that worked BUT only AFTER I formatted the IDE drive as FAT32. But I need to use the CF not an IDE since I haven't found power in the WG for the IDE drive. Leon PS: Yes I...

wa4zlw

Ok fantastic, at least I'm not the only one. So what's next folks?

Thanks leon

wa4zlw

I actually did. I said it starts to format and then says can not copy system files. Here is the screen.

wa4zlw

Hi Normis.... You guys are not hearing what I am saying. I can not longer use Netinstall it dies saying whatever I mentioned up above. I wanted to use the netbook since there is no display (except the 2-line LCD) on the WG and if memory serves me correctly when you do an initial boot doesn't it ask ...

wa4zlw

yes...i was trying to setup/config the CF with the use of the netbook since it has a keyboard and screen and then move the CF to the WG. What I don't understand is why Netinstall stops working.

wa4zlw

Then what's happening here then any ideas? Yes the schematic would be good too.

wa4zlw

As an FYI...the Netinstall version says 4.6 yet the files pulled down are 4.5; this (netisntall) is not version specific is it?

wa4zlw

Hi Normis... Once I did the successful write I rebooted the PC to test and get it installed on the netbook I was using before I move it to the Watchguard. THe netbook allows booting off USB. I forced the boot to the USB and it didn't see a boot image (I am guessing) and booted windoze. Now subsequen...

wa4zlw

UPDATE: Got 4gb stick does same thing. It seems Netinstall will format and write the contents one time. I then tried to reboot the PC from the USB and it bypassed the CF and went to Windoze. Windoze then showed it (the data) gone. If I now try and reinstall get the recurring error mentioned above. I...

wa4zlw

That's what I did. I'm sending my wife back to exchange it for a 4gb CF. Netinstall attempts to format and then dies.

Leon

wa4zlw

Update: I picked up a 8 gb CF @ Walmart this morning and have been unsuccessful. I was able to use Netinstall once to load up the files but when I tried to boot off the USB/CF it didn't. Since then I have been unsuccessful trying to reinstall. Netinstall says can not copy system files. Windoze think...

Hi All.. I have some Watchguard xSeries firewalls that I got from work which are end-of-lifed. It's based on a PIII processor has a 256mb ram stick and 64mbCF card. There's an IDE interface inside, LCD, serial port and a bunch of ethernet ports as well as a mPCI slot with a VPN accelerator and some ...

Hi there... Tom's suggestions are good. Have you did a SCAN on the XR9(s) to see if you're getting and nearby pagers, etc? Also, is the problem on all the CPEs on 900 or just one? What's at the user end of the link (noise floor, CCQ, signal)? Could be something at the user end like cordless phones, ...

wa4zlw

thanks for the info...so what I am seeing is I have to modify the html for the login page. What I want to do is take it one step further and have the user create their own account and go through Paypal.

thanks again will look at it over the weekend.

Hi there...been playing with the hotspot stuff andI have it working but what I really want is on the login page to have a link or button to be able to create an account and then after the account is created be presented with the logon page or be logged in. I've looked through the wiki and haven't fo...

Is there a built-in way to run a DYNDNS client? I'd hate to have to run a Windoze app to do this.

Thanks leon

If the radio IS working it makes it easier to reboot without having to login to the actual radio that you want to reboot.

ldz

wa4zlw

It would be really nice if I can issue a REMOTE REBOOT to a given IP and/or MAC address. There are times when a radio seems to be working but I can not mac-telnet in and this would be a way to (1) see if the system is responding and (2) if not then we know a hard reboot is needed.

Thanks leon

wa4zlw

the solution was to add in another CDROM drive and it worked. Possibly the type of disks I used was >650mb and this drive may have had issues with booting off it.

thanks leon

wa4zlw

:cry: Ok I've burned a bunch of images and all do the same thing; the BIOS reports no operating system on the CD. Yet when I put in a known CD like SuSe linux install, it starts right up. Looking at the CD under Windows shows an isolinux directory with a bunch of .nbk (?) in the root. I must be miss...

We have a site that may have some solar power. Can I monitor the battery voltage with the Routerboard and send an SNMP alert if it his a threshold?

Thanks.

Hi there...Does it only run on Windoze? Is it possible to get a compile for OS/2 (eComStation)? (If not by you is the source avail?)
