After scratching my head for a day I just figured out what is causing these support calls where nothing seems wrong except the user cannot get online. Turns out the CCR I have routing this part of the network is experiencing a bug in the ARP table. For whatever reason, customers would get an IP assigned but that IP address had a different MAC attached in the ARP table on the CCR. Delete the entry manually and it immediately adds the correct one it and everything is fine. The ARP timeout is set to the default and lowest possible 30 minutes.
A forum search for 6.x ARP bug found this report of the same issue. http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=78773 Just a heads up for anyone running 6.x out there. I am on 6.5 on this router and I am not changing it due to the other stories about later versions. I will keep an eye out for a bug-fix first. -Ty -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
