WINGATE & JAVA / HOVER BUTTONS

Oct 23 04 2:33 am

I am the network admin for a school. We have installed java for our browsers IE6 (98 & xp workstations). We share our internet connection through wingate. For some reason the Frontpage hover buttons do not display and the status bar constantly shows "loading java applet..." The wingate server's browser connects direct (not through wingate) and has no problems... it is only my wingate workstations that can't display/load them

any help qbik team?

Does turning on debug logging for the HTTP Proxy and DNS Servers show anything useful? It might give us an indication of why this is failing.

Not sure what or how to use logging.

However... this java console opens up whenever I go to a hover button site and has this displayed:

WinGate logs are switched on by going into the appropriate proxy service (WWW Proxy Service and DNS Service in this case) and switching to the logging tab. The logs are stored in <wingate>\Logs where <wingate> is the folder you installed WinGate to. This defaults to C:\Program Files\WinGate.
