solved: connection refused by server

Jun 25 06 7:24 pm

hi,

i copied gatekeeper.exe onto another w/s so that i can monitor activity w/o going to server itself.

from that w/s i was able to login but after a few minutes of logins and logoffs, i am now getting this message:

"There was a problem connecting to the server. Connection refused by server. Check your server name port number."

now, there is another message i'm getting when directly logging in to the server.

"Connection with wingate server terminated"

i tried going to registry, to delete Remote Access Service registry key but that doesnt fix the problem

any help & suggestion please? i'm using the lastest version of wingate

thank you
