Hi Josh- 1. About once a year, some of the hotspot radios behind this router begin doing weird things- like giving users MT IP addresses but not allowing them to see the captive portal, or maybe not allowing them to the Internet. The radios are a Tropos mesh system and it is properly meshed and working correctly. It is like the hotspot is blocking them. As a matter of fact, if I put a bypass rule in the hotspot for the user's IP address he gets to the Internet just fine. So it really appears like a hotspot problem and not a basic problem. Most of the time when this happens, we go spend half a day pulling our hair out and then run out of time and rebuild the router (default and start over). Today my guys had to leave after 5 hours and I am going to have to do this remotely. BTW- it is running 4.6 as of today. It was on 4.3 before but was doing the same thing.
2. I am not familiar with that setting. I even searched the web for Mikrotik +"on default". Can you fill me in? I stared and compared all the firewall rules between this system and one that works and can see no difference. I'd love to just have Butch or someone take a quick look and see if they see an obvious problem, but it is late on Friday now. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Friday, April 23, 2010 6:12 PM To: Mikrotik discussions Subject: Re: [Mikrotik] Didn't mean to hijack thread 1) Why do you need to blow it away? 2) You could change the "on default" config.
