Hi olaf

I presume you mean 64bit?

We are currently working on a port for our ENS driver to 64 bit which should hopefully work on Vista as well as XP 64 once we get driver signing authority completed etc. So it's hard to put a timeframe on it.

No 32 bit, wingate itself runs fine (I use it since some weeks), but the driver not (NAT, Firewall etc.)

OK We'll have another look. I think they made some changes to NDIS for vista.

VISTA is now RTM - will there be a wingate update soon? (I hope so since we're waiting for a bugfix release also for a while). VISTA support could be titled as BETA if it is not fully tested yet...???

Just updated to 6.2 THX for the bugfix release.

Unfortunately Wingate is not fully compatible with VISTA I still get
Results for: Product: Windows Operating System; ID: 4; Source: QbikHkNt;

Still using VISTA 32bit english but now the RTM no BETA or RC1/2.

Hi

It looks like it used the NT4 driver on Vista instead of the XP one. It would have no chance of working in that case.

the installer doesn't recognise Vista I think, so it considered it to be NT4.

Anyway, if you can extract the XP driver out of it, put that in windows\System32\drivers, then search in the registry for qbikhknt.sys and replace it with qbikhkxp.sys it could be worth a try.

Hi Adrien, I tried this, but VISTA seems to recognize that somebody (me) has done a registry change and this is than handled as spyware and seems to be blocked. Would it be possible to update your installer and send me a a download URL (I would do the beta test than)

THX
