Please help

1. What game are you playing.
2. How do you connect to the WinGate server? Proxy / WinGate Internet Client / NAT?


Generally, if you play games, NAT is a good connection choice.

Do you have NAT installed? Otherwise know as Extended Networking?

If you do, it will just be a matter of setting your clients default gateway to the WinGate servers internal IP address.. please note, these IP addresses I have used in the example below may not be how your network is configured, but if you can see the pattern, you should be ok.

So if the WinGate has the following TCP/IP settings

IP Address 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

Then the clients TCP/IP setting to use NAT will be

IP Address 192.168.0.x
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.0.1
DNS 192.168.0.1




Also, What Windows operating system are you running?
And do you know you can use our latest software?

We will have to organise a link for you to download the plugin from, alternatively you could upgrade your WinGate installation to version 6 and have it built in; your license will still work with it.

When you upgrade to version 6, you will want to check how your network card(s) / modems have been detected by WinGate. The network card pointing towards the LAN be marked as "Internal" and the netwrok card / modem pointing towards the internet be marked as "External". (GateKeeper --> View menu --> Network)
