Client isnt launching

Sep 03 04 1:40 pm

Hi :) Here is the config :
-2 Pc WinXP Pro SP1 with ethernet card
-First Pc has Internet connection (DSL) and wingate server installed
-Network between the 2 Pcs is working (ping, ftp...)

On the PC n°2, i installed the wingate client. I can see the server online in the wingate servers tab and the client is set ENABLED. BUT when i start an internet application, wingate just dont launch and so my second PC cant access internet. Any idea ?

Is DNS configured on the client to point to the WinGate Server ?

Can it connect if you use a direct proxy connection? (As a test)

Sorry i dont know what a direct proxy connection is. How can i do this thing? :)

In your browser, you can configure it to connect directly to the WinGate Server. If, for example, your WinGate server's internal (private) IP address is 192.168.0.1 and it is listening on port 80 for web traffic (HTTP) - you would go into Internet Explorer's Internet Properties, switch to the connections tab and click the "LAN Settings" button. There, you would tick the box that allowed you to use a proxy server, and specify the IP under server as 192.168.0.1 and the port as 80. Then click okay to go all the way out.

That's a proxy connection. This is the most basic you can go, and if that works, we at least know that your client and server can talk to each other and to the internet through eachother.

If that works, then the next step would be to figure out why the WinGate Internet Client is failing.

There is an activity logged on the Gatekeeper that "WRP Control Session" issued from the client to the WinGate server ...if this can help ^_^

I forgot to tell you this : the IP of the 2 Pcs on the internal network are 134.214.165.x so not private ones coz we are in a sort of college.

Ah, now, which version of WinGate are you using? Double check the adapter useage on the networking panel if it is 6.0. As you're using non-private IPs, it would not have detected that you are using that as an internal adapter. Make sure that your adapter useages are set correctly in GateKeeper.

The adapters were set fine. It was the version 6.
I just tried the 5.2.3 and its working.
Thank you ntl for your help!

Regards.
