You have to include more detailed problem description!

- Do you see Windows client at /ip hotspot host?
- Are you able to get IP address from DHPC server?
- Are you able to open login page?

something you are seriously missing out it works fine with mine. Most likely you are not getting an ip address from the server. please confirm

Unfortunately you blocked out the most important part. What DNS name did you give the Hotspot instance? Different OSs may have different resolvers that may throw faults on different RFC incompatible names.

Hi, for me - my Windows can not reach Hotspot server IP but Mac is fine.

my config is

/interface print detail
Flags: D - dynamic, X - disabled, R - running, S - slave
0 R name="ether1-gateway" type="ether" mtu=1500 l2mtu=1520 max-l2mtu=1520

1 R name="ether2-master-local" type="ether" mtu=1500 l2mtu=1520 max-l2mtu=1520

3 name="ether4-slave-local" type="ether" mtu=1500 l2mtu=1520 max-l2mtu=1520

4 R ;;; Hot Spot Port

(networking noob here...)

Hi, I had this issue as well.

Looked to me to be dns resoltion, (do mac's use mdns somehow or multicast dns?) anyway they can find hotspot dns name no problem just not pc's.

Anyway under hotspot gateway dns name I changed that to an ip address instead of a dns name and boom worked instantly for pc's.

Thanks man- that worked for me, put the IP in dns name(under hotspot server profile 'DNS Name')
