The service port (www) does not affect the winbox port, only the webbox (html login) port. You can disable it and still access the router via winbox.
Maybe that has changed in the 2.9 series, that AP I took the config from is 2.8.27 and it had to be changed to use winbox.
Yup, this is new with 2.9. 2.8 still requires a port...sucks having both as I've got 2 different version of winbox and some networks don't need ports (2.9). ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16519057 Mon, 17 Jul 2006 17:42:09 EDT Re: wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16518391 Rhaas :

OK, I reset the whole system and re-did the configuration from scratch and everythings working...funny thing though:

I get into winbox by just typing in the IP 10.5.50.1

if I type in anything more, like :8081 or :80 then it won't let me in.

Did you login to the hotspot? You'll have to do this before winbox will work. Also, you might want to get a "fresh" version of winbox from your router by browsing to it via whatever port the www port is set to and download the winbox exe from there. As mentioned, you have to have the full address in your browser for it to work, ie you need "http://routerip:service_port"]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16517249 Mon, 17 Jul 2006 13:49:20 EDT Re: wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16516976 Rhaas : Have you tried rebooting since changing the ports?

For example:
http://10.5.50.1:8081
would work, while 
10.5.50.1:8081
would not.

Alternative "real" browsers don't have this issue ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16516959 Mon, 17 Jul 2006 13:10:52 EDT Re: wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16516862 caribounet : OK, I reset the whole system and re-did the configuration from scratch and everythings working...funny thing though:

and what about the differences in our lists of "services"...

mine being:

# name port

0 telnet 23
1 ftp 21
2 www 8081
3 ssh 22
4 www-ssl 443

everything seems to be working...but shouldn't the hotspot be listed there somewhere?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16516862 Mon, 17 Jul 2006 12:57:45 EDT Re: wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16515186 outofsite : u may try logging into the hotspot network first.

On a side note...I noticed some differences on my list of services & ports:

# name port

1 ftp 21
2 www 8081

I don't see any hot spot entries like your list...???]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16513226 Sun, 16 Jul 2006 21:35:58 EDT Re: wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16512950 Rhaas :

I can log onto my mikrotik hotspot router wirelessly through Neighbor viewer, but cannot via winbox.
When using the hotspot you will need to change the www listening port on the MT.

Just set #2 (www) to whatever port you want (8081) in the above example. Then in winbox where you enter the address add ':' so for my example the router is at 10.1.1.1 I would enter the address ass '10.1.1.1:8081'.
