Winbox v3 came out almost three years ago…

 

What happens if you try to use the older Winbox version?

Subject: [AFMUG] winbox 3

 

I have recently downloaded a new version of Winbox, Winbox 3, I think.  It has 
a different gui than the old winbox software that I have always used.  anyway, 
it picked up all of my router informations that I had stored in my old Winbox 
and it worked perfectly for a few days.

 

Then one day, it failed to log into one of my RB493AH router.  It gives me an 
Error: "corrupted gzip".  I'm first to admit that I really don't understand how 
Winbox really works, but didn't think it had anything to do with gzip since I'm 
running it on a W7 machine.  So, I figured the error was something to do with 
the router, not Winbox.  But, my old Winbox gets right into the 493 with no 
issues.

 

Can anyone tell me what's up?  Any ideas on how to fix the error?  I searched 
the MT wiki and didn't find any leads.  I also searched Google for just 
'corrupted gzip' and I wasn't at all excited about what Google was saying.

 

Lookin' for an easy fix!
