MS Lync and wingate

[ngrayson]

Hi,

Running wingate 6.6.4. with Kaspersky plugin. I'm just wondering if a Lync conversation would be routed through this plugin.

During a conference, the audio keeps dropping in and out and I cant seem to find out why.

Cheers
I will be updateing to version 7 soon but ill health has prevented me so far.

Hi Neil

Lync uses SIP as a protocol, so shouldn't be going through the WWW proxy or KAV

SIP however is HTTP-esque, so it's possible (although unlikely, and I haven't tried it) that it may go through an HTTP proxy if the port was intercepted, but I really wouldn't expect it to work at all.

Do you see any evidence in logs that it's going through the WWW proxy?

Hope you get better soon!

Regards

Adrien

Hi Guys,

I see no evidence although in truth I had not looked. I initially put this down to my ADSl line speed but a recent failure in USB modem has forced me to use an ADSL router. Directly connecting to this and Lync works just peachy.

Speratly I also notice that if I use the browser on my wingate machine which still goes via wingate I get a throughput of 3.4M but if I do the same test on a device on the green side I only get 1.5M. Admitedly the processor is only a 2.6G Athalon single core with 750m of ram but it should not have that much impact.

Thank you both for your wishes on my health and I am now in fact much better and have started my Wingate 7 build. Quad core AMD FX4100 with 4G or ram so that has plenty of horse power. I have send in some questions with a diagram to the sales@wingate.com address and asked them to forward it to you guys which I hope they do. I managed to tie myself in knots trying to get V6.6.4 working having removed the internal USB ADSL modem and now using a second NIC to the router so hoping someone can advice on that before I set up my V7 machine. I did not want to publish it on the forum.

I will try lync again and check the logs.
