Actually giving some vague thought to my network at home, and given that I have all that wonderful OpenMesh stuff to play with as well, I'm thinking I'm going to seperate out my wireless network...

1 private one that I control access to very strictly, and then one connected directly to the Mikrotik that is rate limited and all of that with a basic password which just has access to the interwebs.

I really wouldn't mind my unshaped allocation running at full line speed, and then reverting back to the purchased account speed when the unshaped data has been used up.

Hence why we're currently having some issues. We did this at no cost to you guys for this month and use the line sync speed to allocate an allowed speed on the throughput, but we change this around once we add the shaping policies and this process isn't 100% yet.

It's also proving difficult to do the switch at exactly the allocation, so it sometimes adds the correct tags just before and sometimes just after. This issue may prove slightly tough to perfect and may take weeks of trial and error, so while it won't delay anything, the data it sends to you may be off by about 20min.

Gotta read those mails we send you. :D

The mail I received didn't have the news host address in it, just the username and password. But still it was my bad for just assuming the news host name followed the same domain #Blockeyes

EDIT: Found the mail for setting up the news server. Sorry Shaun - the news host name is there and ends in .co.za #eyeballs

Configure your hotspot router as for instance 192.168.2.1, add a new mangle rule for 2.1 and limit that in q trees and add a couple of firewall rules for 2.1. Sorted. :)
 
Although doing a quick check.. 50 Push Ups might be a bit excessive...

especially considering that each one has a shot and a half of vodka.

I think you should change the bloody marys to Holy Hail Marys... its more appropriate for the penance.

Can we make it 50 push ups ontop of Mary? And is this Mary chick hot or not?
Nevermind after 10 bloody Mary's it wont matter :p

Thats my thought process so far, before doing too much digging..

have 1 network (192.168.1.x) for my "private" network, and another (192.168.2.x) for the public... different ports on the Mikrotik that can only talk to the gateway

I have never done this tbh, but since you mentioned it I want to figure it out aswell lol. My guess is a route will also be added pointing to the net and so. Wish i could find a job where I have to work with Mikrotik all day, just love it.
 
Customers in the Eastern Cape, could you please do a power cycle and report to our support desk if you're still experiencing issues. Some upgrades were performed and things should be looking better for you guys.
 
Do we still need to switch to that new account in the e-mail even if we are on the unshaped account?
