http://none

this is frustrating me.

whenever i type http://192.168.0.1 in the browser to get to my routeros box ie or firefox change it to http://none and dnot get anywhere.

whats wrong?

try another browser. this seems like a windows/browser issue.

actually i dont think it is.

take this scenario for example.

i made a new hostpot username for JohnDoe and when JohnDoe tries to start the internet he keeps looping on http://none/

I found a way around this and that is to edit the hosts file in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

i added:

192.168.0.1 none

that tells windows that none->192.168.0.1

why do i need to do that though?

i need help!

i bet you have `none` entered in some incorrect place in the hotspot config. export your router's config and search for `none`.

you see, `none` is nothing that a browser can know about. it's a word, it's not a special browser link, nor a special URI.

well i reinstalled and i am havng the problem again and heres where i suspect it is.

when i setup Hotspot through the console system it asked me for a DNS NAME and i inputted "internet"

now when i load up IE or FF it keeps gonig: http://internet .. same problem with none

i was thinking to myself today and i thought what if i change the word internet to 192.168.0.1 and then when it does http:// it'll insert the ip.

how do i export the settings?

well there you go ... found the problem

to export settings, type `/export file=something` and download something.rsc with FTP. can be opened, edited and re-imported.

can i change that setting through winbox for internet or do i have to go through /ip hotspot setup again? i am not at home so thats why i am asking.

yes, go to ip hotspot and change the DNS name in the profile.
