WinGate proxy server behind router?

Aug 02 05 10:16 pm

Hello,

I am using a trial version of Wingate. I have successfully set up a proxy server using a direct connection to the internet, but need to do this using now from behind a router. Is this possible, and if so, how?

Many thanks,

Tony.

Please note, you may have different IP Addresses but you should be able to see the pattern I am describing in the scenarios below. If you need better instructions, please post the following:

Router IP address and Subnet mask
Server IP address(s), subnet mask, DNS and Gateway
Client IP address, subnet mask, DNS and Gateway
That information can usually be found by: (Windows) Start menu --> Run --> cmd --> ipconfig /all

Scenario 1: One network card in WinGate server.

Router IP Address: 192.168.0.254
Router subnet mask: 255.255.255.0


WinGate Server IP Address: 192.168.0.1
WinGate Server subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
WinGate Server Gateway: 192.168.0.254
WinGate Server DNS: 192.168.0.254

Client IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Client Subnet: 255.255.255.0


Scenario 2: Two network cards in WinGate server. (Recommended but not essential)

Router IP Address: 192.168.0.254
Router subnet mask: 255.255.255.0


Network Card pointing to router
WinGate Server IP Address: 192.168.0.1
WinGate Server subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
WinGate Server Gateway: 192.168.0.254
WinGate Server DNS: 192.168.0.254


Network Card pointing to client (Local Area Network)
WinGate Server IP Address: 192.168.1.1
WinGate Server subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
WinGate Server Gateway:
WinGate Server DNS:

Client IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Client Subnet: 255.255.255.0


Scenario 3 (Extra): Letting your Client use NAT as well

Same details as scenario 2 (you would require two network cards), but you would also add two more settings to the clients TCP/IP settings. You would also need to make sure NAT is installed; refer to the image in this post to check: http://forums.qbik.com/viewtopic.php?p=17352#17352


Client IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Client Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Client Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Client DNS: 192.168.1.1
