You can open Winbox using wine.

As mentioned, this post belongs in the Ubuntu forums.

However, if you are a newbie and setting up wine isnt for you (can be a chore) I can recommend a product called Crossover by Codeweavers.

(this is not a sales plug, I am an ubuntu user and found that this helped me to use mikrotik on ubuntu).....

Thanks, and standing by for the FLAMES.....

You should download winbox from your own router - just enter it's IP into the browser.

winbox=Windows Box
Linbox=Linux Box

tHERE IS NO NEED FOR THAT

winbox works, perfectly on linux, if you don't know how to use wine on linux, then use windows

mrz said it

janisk · Mon Mar 12, 2007 3:35 pm

yes

linbox = linux box = winbox +wine

default config of wine works like a charm even better than in its natural inhabitance

if it does not then

$ cd ~
$ rm -rf .wine

hello there,
i have similar problem like that
wine works fine with every win program. just if i start winbox or dude application starts and several seconds after freezes and forces to quit.
i am not sure that this is an ubuntu problem. or wine problem. we threated previously that problem into the forum, but nobody help.
regards,
C. G.

Probably ubuntu , they seem far more interested in making it shiny instead of making it work.
