Hi Stefan,

First of all, our latest version is 6.0.4, so you may want to update your installation sometime in the near future. Your 5.2.3 license will still work with 6.0.4.

Now that said... I just quickly tested, and I am wondering if you have not set up IE correctly. To bypass local addresses you must have a http:// in the front of the address / domain name... e.g http://10.10.* as shown in image.

There are a few differnet ways to do the bypass proxy servers, and have just been informed just placing the ip address in is the best way ( no http:// ... ; just 10.10.10.* ... soz about that.)

I am not sure why your settings in Microsoft Internet Explorer are not getting bypassed, unless maybe you are using NAT or the WinGate internet Client...

Also, check your Host file setting by pinging the address you placed in.

Any one else got some ideas?

Hi Syhor7,

to find out the "server" ip address...

For Windows XP / 2000 / NT
(Windows) Start Menu --> Run --> cmd --> ping server

For Windows 9x
(Windows) Start Menu --> Run --> command --> ping server

it will come back with a message along the lines of:
Pinging server [192.168.9.1] with 32 bytes of data:

The IP address returned, in my case 192.168.9.1, needs to be added it to the exception tab of the IE explorer settings as shown above. That should bypass your proxy for the local server.

Hi Stefan,

the DNS: A lookup "webserver.mydomain.com". ... loosley means WinGate has received a request to try and resolve the domain name in question to an IP Address.

This is a trafic trough proxy server or just acknowlege and is bypassing?

A request has been sent to the WinGate server to find out the IP address for that domain name. So I spose we can say it is traffic.
