Was wondering if anyone has had success getting Winbox to run on a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.3.

Winbox Mikrotik For Mac Os X 10.8

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.. 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. X11 automatically opened as well when I clicked to open the app and came up to the Connect window. 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. The Snow Leopard machine did not have X11 on it at first so I put in my Install DVD and loaded X11. 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. 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.

Download Winbox: https. I'll show you how to quickly install the Mikrotik Winbox tool on macOS using Winebottler, and how to use it with your Mikrotik router. TikTool allows you to manage your MikroTik devices via your Mac computer. Main features: - Add all your MikroTik devices. Ping your devices to know if they are available. Read all your configurations as in Winbox. Modify your configurations. Monitor interfaces traffic.

Anyone have any suggestions or links to How-To's that get Winbox working on Snow Leopard (as close to natively as possible). I don't want to have to hack my machine to pieces to get Winbox working in OS X. 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. when I'm in a board configuring or troubleshooting.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

In my previous post I had shown you how to install Wine on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and 10.8 Mountain Lion. As a Mikrotik router administrator and a Mac OS X user, able to run Mikrotik Winbox on Mac OS X Lion is a must even though I can still use ssh or telnet to remote Mikrotik routers. However, accessing Mikrotik via Winbox is much easier than via ssh or telnet.

This article shows you how easy it is running Mikrotik Winbox on Mac OS X, in this case I use Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2. It should work on Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger and the latest OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

1. Install the Wine first. You can follow my previous tutorial on how to install Wine on Mac OS X.

2. Download Winbox application from Mikrotik website.
