Not with MT items, but we've similar issues in the past with captive portals in our Wisp. One cause has been sheer workload. One hotspot customer is hammering the gateway, virus or kiddie scripts, and the logins timed out. No auth, no issue. Limiting connections and excempting the radius ports helped there.
Is the cpu load or mem use high on the unit? -----Original Message----- From: mikrotik-boun...@mail.butchevans.com [mailto:mikrotik-boun...@mail.butchevans.com] On Behalf Of Ralph Sent: April-23-10 3:39 PM To: 'Mikrotik discussions' Subject: [Spam Bayesian - ] - [Mikrotik] Some hotspot radios behind my MT don't get outside access - Bayesian Filter detected spam 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: mikrotik-boun...@mail.butchevans.com [mailto:mikrotik-boun...@mail.butchevans.com] 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.
