BSOD with WinGate

Jul 13 04 8:39 pm

Good day. I've installed WinGate 5.2.3 (901) on my router and on another offices of our company. I've established 3 VPN hosts in offices and one VPN client on main router in head office. Router joins to other networks via WinGate VPN, everything is fine. I also have WWW, POP3, SMTP proxies in head office and firewalls on every router. This configuration worked fine for about two weeks, but my primary router in head office have Microsoft RAS installed for Microsoft VPN users to dial in our network, and demand-dial routing interfaces to four other offices. So, on one router there is WinGate with ENS enabled, and Microsoft RAS and Demand-dial router enabled. From time to time, when Microsoft VPN user dials in our network I have BSOD on router. I had to reboot it each time this happends. And now, after one of such reboots, WinGate just stopped to start - it hangs on "Starting" state with yellow lights on WinGate Engine Monitor. My question is - what could go wrong and is it possible for WinGate to work on same computer with Microsoft RAS server? Or I need to completely disable Microsoft Routing and Remote Access and set up VPN clients to all my mobile users?

Try installing the new version - WG 6.

I would, but it'll expire on 22 of July, while I need my offices to work stable without further problems. So, the answer for "Will it work with Microsoft RAS" is "No"?

Ok, another question. If I will set up my RAS server on another machine, and set up firewall there, while WinGate computer will be behind that computer, will it work? In this scenario, MS VPN clients will connect to router, which then forward their packets into WinGate comp, which act as Proxy and WinGate VPN join-client. Will it work? On each router I have two NICs installed, but will I be able to make WinGate work with one of NICs as a Internet card, while it have IP like 192.168.xxx.xxx? Yes, I know that I can do it in "Advanced-Network adapters" menu, but will it work?

Yes, it will work - an adapter role depends on user settings and the actual IP class serves just as a hint if no other information available.

Thank you very much! But with Microsoft Routing and\or RAS server it will fail?
