Wingate 5.2 ENS service and Direcway/DirecPC

[brettsilverthorn]

I would love to be able to use the ENS service with my DirecWay dish service. The issue is when I install Wingate and it's firewall "ENS" service DPCNAV the satillite service dies every time at boot-up, or takes a 100% CPU until ENS service removed.

I have tried installing wingate and ENS first then the dish software and visa versa. Either way ENS blows up, and the PC is at 100% CPU with the dish software.

If I reinstall wingate with out ENS direcway/direcPC is happy and works well except my linux boxes, I need ENS to get a reliable connection with some of linux boxes behind wingate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're running on a NT based OS (NT, 2K, XP, 2003) try setting the WinGate Service to be a manual start service. (Via Service Control) Then, ensure ENS is enabled and will be running, then reboot the machine.

Once everything is started, log in and start the WinGate Service. See if you get the same problem then. This could be a start-order/dependancy type of problem, and this will tell us if it is the case.

If it is the case, there is a simple registry modification you can make to have WinGate depend on the DirecPC / NAV to be loaded before it starts.

That appears to have fixed it, what is the reg hack to allow me to control how and when it starts?

I'll check with Genie, he's the guru in that department

For this, you will need the service name for DPCNAV / etc. This is not the physical file name, but the name it is registered with. So, before we begin, all the usual registry editing warnings apply. Make sure that you export this key before you make any modifications, that you have an appropriate backup / system restore point and that if anything goes wrong you can quickly revert back to your previous config.

That said, open regedit and navigate to.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\

The exact format of this key will depend on the operating system you are running - I can't find a post that specifies, so I will assume 2K for now - if it is otherwise, let me know.

Navigate to the Qbik driver (Services\QbikHK2K) and add the following value:

Name: DependOnService
Value: <name of DPC service>

You can find the name of the service by looking through the list in \Services\.

As an example, the QbikIDS driver depends on NDIS and the QbikHK2K driver. So it adds:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\QbikIDS
DependOnService: NDIS QbikHK2K

This should force the DPC service to load before the WinGate service does, which means everything should be started fine.

It is windows XP but I think I figured it out. One question do I want to enter the "Service name" "DIRECWAY Webcast" or do I want to enter the exe file name dpcnav.exe? I will try both I guess and see which happens.

Thanks for your help

Hi Brett,

When you have that list of registry keys open, you should be able to find the DIRECWAY one in there as well. (I.e. EY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\DIRECWAY or something similar)

That last portion is the name you want to use.

There has to be something I have set in wingate 5.2.2 that is causing outlook to prompt for a username password. Today I did the following to try and clear this annoyance up.

1. Reinstalled XP and all my software "Yikes 5 hours" at work today and reloaded outlook. Never ever prompted me all day long.

2. brought the PC back home and set it behind the wingate server and it is prompting every other time it checks mail.

3. reinstalled Wingate server clear down to the OS, and reinstall of 5.2.2 and to no resolve it still prompts. Turned off wingate and dialed up out on the internet directly from the PC and never prompted me in an hour. Disconnected and went to back to internal network and prompts me immediatley.


HELP !
