Ok The Guy has implemented a transparent proxy on mikrotik PC license level 4 . When he browses its fine and proxy seems to work fine . But after like 20 minutes it goes into waiting and finaly no one can browse , pings to the internet works fine at the time , Thats the dilemma now i asked him to reformat and install with clean configs same thing .It works for some time then goes into waiting . He only has the basic rules, NAT , Proxy Redirection and Port 25. Any hints ? Thanks Anto On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 12:56 PM, James Muendo <timrick@gmail.com> wrote:

Could you do a kindly do a configuration export and attach the file? On the terminal, type export file=config.txt then ftp to the router and download it. I'm suspecting it might be a h/w issue but let me hold that thought.
Received your file (attached) and went through it. Your proxy config seems to be the issue. If you say it works fine then after a while it stops it seems to be a case of resource exhaustion. For those familiar with squid your cache will die on you silently if you run out of HDD space - I think there's a similar case here. Either its memory running out or available connections. What are the specs of the PC running the proxy? Be sure to check the free RAM & HDD space under /system resource print Try these options: - Set max-cache-size to a definite value instead of leaving it unlimited - use the system resource output as a guideline. - Have you also tried checking its performance when you disable the proxy access rules? - You can also play with max-client-connections and raise it a bit - maybe there are many TIME_WAIT connections piling up that exhaust it (though I'm not 100% sure if they count towards this total). As for your proxy access rules...umenyonga watu kabisa. :) Have you read this? http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/How_to_make_transparent_web_proxy Finally, perusing the mikrotik forums always helps as you almost always find someone asking a similar question: http://forum.mikrotik.com
Thanks for the input .
