Hi!
there is something very simple I need! i have a dsl connection at home and a spare phone line, i just want to dialin to my home pc and used the shared internet through ICS( which is not possible ) or through wingate, i also have a LAn card which not connected to any machine. please help me how do i configure wingate to work on this configuration. Currently I am able to dialin and access my pc through remote desktop i.e incoming connections are working fine! but net doesn't work as i was unable to get IP address from the ICS.

Please help if i am not clear i can explain again. I have XP Professional SP2, DSL and 1 modem 56K modem for incoming connection

regards

WinGate by itself does not control a dial-in connection. You still need to do that through the Operating System. Because WinGate 6 has binding policies (As opposed to fixed bindings) it will pick up on dynamically created interfaces (Dial-in) and allow you to bind services and use the adapters. This means you can NAT or even use proxies (If you wanted to). So, short answer: Yes, WinGate will share internet access for you, but it doesn't control dial-in - you need the OS for that.

Okay, the first thing to do is to get an installation where you have the dial-in connection working fine. (Without WinGate and ICS) Once you have that setup and working, install WinGate. (Leave ICS - having the two together is just going to cause you headaches and problems)

On the network pane (GateKeeper, tab after "Activity") set the dial-in adapter so it is treated as Internal. Ensure that the connection to your DSL modem is treated as "External".

Now try to establish the dial-in connection again. Because it's marked as internal it should not be firewalled. That's the first thing. The second thing is - it will now be treated as another local area network connection.

This means you can use NAT (By setting your default gateway / DNS Server through the WinGate Server's IP). Or you can configure proxies in the browser on the remote client, etc. and you should be able to access the internet that way - through the WinGate server you have dialed into.

The important thing is you need to ensure the adapters are marked properly (And use WinGate 6.0.3)
