Wimax and wingate

[SnowboyDan]

hello
does Wingate work with wimax connections.I have a wimax connection with 4G USB- Samsung SWC-U200 wimax modem which receives its address by DCHP method. But after installing the Wingate it seems that the wimax modem is not able to receive its ip address. It does when I disable the wingate and start the winxp again. Is there anything that I might need to know in setting up the Wimax connection??

Hi,

When the USB device is installed and you are using Wingate, is it listed as an 'external interface' in Wingate's Network tab?

Also, have you disabled the Windows Firewall if you have installed Wingate's ENS?

[Snowboy]

Well the probelm was that wingate inbuilt firewall was by default blocking the incoming DHCP UDP conncetions from the internet on port 67,68 for the wimax connection. made an exception on the firewall and it did work

I have the same problem with WiMAX usb modem Sagem F@st.
I've tried to disbale wingate firewall - the same result :-((
If Wingate ENS is disabled - modem works perfect. But I need ENS (firewall, nat, etc)

Any ideas?

Thanks.

With Wingate running and ENS enabled is their any firewall hits in Gatekeeper?

If so what port?

Yes, like this:

Code: Select all

Wingate firewall hit report:

        Time: 3/17/2010 1:49:45 PM
        Reason: Port Range
        Source MAC address: ***
        Destination MAC address: ***
        Source IP Address: 192.168.54.1 : 67
        Destination IP Address: 255.255.255.255 : 68
        Protocol: UDP
        Time-to-live: 128


I have an old pc - PIII, 866Mhz, 512Mb, WinXP SP3, etc. This pc is dedicated to WinGate: two internet connections, dhcp, nat.
It has 3 ethernet adapters:
- LAN 192.168.6.1 - local network, ip range: 192.168.6.1-50
- INET1 10.88.*.* - static ip
- INET2 192.168.117.* - static

This configuration works perefect. But now I'm trying to connect WiMax usb modem and have problem as I described.

[Nev]

So the 192.168.54.1 is the Wimax device?

It looks as though you'll have to open DHCP holes in the Wingate Firewall on ports 67/68, or you could assign an IP to the external NIC in Wingate on the same subnet [192.168.54.x] to see if it works.

The problem is solved 50/50: stop WinGate engine, connect Wimax modem and after that start Wingate engine again. Works perfect. Wimax modem is assigned right ip-address from dhcp server.

Before this I'm trying to open 67/68 udp ports in Wingate firewall. Something strange happaned in this case - wimax modem connected one time of ~10 attempts. No firewall hints at all.

By the way, 192.168.54.x is not wimax ip/subnet, wimax ip is 10.1.*.*/255.255.0.0

At this time I found only one solution - start wimax before Wingate engine.

In any case
Nev, thank you for your attention.
