![]() ![]() But it can still be used to access the BOARD via the MAC address and if a someone attempted to login to the device after having gained physical access, they would have to know to use Winbox, connect via MAC Address and then try to crack our Admin Password. It is strictly there to power the device. Anyone who does happen to gain physical access to our equipment can't connect to the device because there is no IP address on that interface. We can plug into this port, pull up winbox, and access the router via MAC address.įrom a Network Admin, this acts as an extra layer of security. I have had no problems at all.Īs a matter of fact, we power our boards via PoE and there is a LAN port on the PoE injector which is located at the bottom of the tower. However, I have had no problems connecting, uploading files to the device, upgrading RouterOS successfully, completely configuring the boards/radio cards while connected via MAC address, and troubleshooting via MAC Address. I thought about that (making a copy of the app and running both copies to accomplish the goal of having two Winbox instances/windows) and it worked.Īnd everyone always has bad things to say about being connected via MAC address. How about if you make a copy of that app, rename it, and then launch a second one? We also use MacOS, but we run Winbox.exe directly via Wine, we don't use the precompiled Winebottler app. The transfer will be interrupted most probably. You can't upload files to Winbox even in Windows if you use MAC address to conencect. This makes my work flow go a lot smoother, now that I don't have to touch a Windows PC for anything at work or at home now. After XQuartz did the trick, I uninstalled Darwine and Wine because the copy of Winbox I have is a Winebottle package and I should not have to have Wine or Darwin installed and Winbox still opens up fine. I think the Wiki (which states all you need to do is download this pre-compiled Winebottle app and your good) should be updated to included using XQuartz and having Xcode (from the OS Disc) installed for that is what I believe is working for me. I downloaded and installed XQuartz which I did once before and did not work, but I had not had Darwin (as you suggested before) installed, nor had I installed Xcode yet (like my 10.5.8 Leopard machine had).Īfter install XQuartz, Winbox pops up like it was meant to run on a Mac all along. Try to find some other x11 installation, we didn't use the one off the SL disk. when I'm in a board configuring or troubleshooting. In that case, I'll just create a Boot Camp partition and install Windows, but I just hate to install Windows on my machine for one simple app, not to mention I won't have access to my E-mail, preferred web browser, Skype, etc. ![]() I don't want to have to hack my machine to pieces to get Winbox working in OS X. X11 does not open like it does on the Leopard machine and even if I open X11 manually and then run the app, I still never see the Connect window.Īnyone have any suggestions or links to How-To's that get Winbox working on Snow Leopard (as close to natively as possible). When I click on the Winbox app the icon pops up on the dock and the Menu Bar gives me the same Wine options as when I run it on the Leopard machine, but the Connect window never appears. The Snow Leopard machine did not have X11 on it at first so I put in my Install DVD and loaded X11. I did not actually connect to a RouterBOARD to test full functionality, but I'm just trying to get my MacBook running Snow Leopard to that point. X11 automatically opened as well when I clicked to open the app and came up to the Connect window. X11 is installed on the iMac running Leopard and I downloaded the pre-packaged Winebox version of the Winbox app from the Wiki and it worked. I have a MacBook Pro (the new 13-inch model that just came out, unibody 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) which is running Snow Leopard (Mac OS X10.6.3) and an older iMac (White 17" Intel Core Duo) running Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5. Was wondering if anyone has had success getting Winbox to run on a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.3. ![]()
