| wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO.. I can log onto my mikrotik hotspot router wirelessly through Neighbor viewer, but cannot via winbox. winbox detects it...after a very long wait...but when i try to log on via MAC it gives error : "router disconnected"
I get errors & unsuccessful trying to log on via IP... could it be some kind of firewall or port issue? what port should I be trying on...where/how to configure allow such a port... if need be...
Mikrotik novice here...answer like I'm 5yrs old... | |

Utah Valley | Re: wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO.. Are you trying to Winbox in to the gateway IP listed on your computer?
Did you change the access port on the MT box from default or did you add firewall rules? | |

| Re: wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO.. I am trying to winbox to the gateway IP listed on the computer (also identical to the IP listed when it is detected by neighbor viewer). If I changed the access port on the MT box from default, it was not intentional or consciously...I am running it as a hotspot if that changed access ports in and of itself... I don't know enough yet to have added firewall rules except by mistake if that is even possible...
What should I try first? | |

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'. | |

2 edits | Re: wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO.. OK, got www enabled on 8081, winbox gives me this:
"connection refused (web server is not running)!"
On a side note...I noticed some differences on my list of services & ports:
# name port
0 telnet 23
1 ftp 21
2 www 8081
3 ssh 22
4 www-ssl 443
I don't see any hot spot entries like your list...??? | |

| 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.
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? | |

Bernie, MO | Re: wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO.. Have you tried rebooting since changing the ports?
I've not setup a hotspot before, the one on my network is left over from when Butch was playing with it. I do believe it should be listed, but it may not *shrug* | |

| Not sure if it's related, but if you're using Internet explorer, you actually have to tell it you're requesting an HTTP page.
For example:
would work, while
would not.
Alternative "real" browsers don't have this issue ;) | |

| 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.
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" | |

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). | |
