Internet explorer is malfuncioning

[MetaBrain]

Hi.
I can acess to the internet from my client computer by using several programs (e.g. eMule, Kazza etc......) but with internet explorer, it says "site found wayting replay" and them says "Page not found"?
I folowed the help file to the letter by doing all the steps (and) on the correct order.........
I have the same internet explorer version (but I think that doesn't matter..) and everything is allright..
But no Internet Explorer! And I tried to go to several sites so they couldn't be bad written.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi

check the connection settings in Internet Explorer under Tools->Options->Connection.

Make sure if you are using NAT in WinGate, that you don't have Internet Explorer configured to use a proxy, or that if you do, it is going to the right place.

Thanks for the reply.

I folowed the help file to configure my client PC to use NAT and WGIC because in looks to be the more reliable. I folowed on this text from the help file:

-[color=darkblue]This combination is the most effective for client computers running their applications on a Windows platform. It allows users to maximize their ability to share an Internet connection (both outgoing with NAT and incoming with WGIC), while giving you a high level of control over any applications you choose to administer more carefully with the WGIC.

If the WGIC is installed it will provide the default connectivity for every client application trying to connect to the Internet from that computer. To use NAT you must tell the client to ignore a particular application.

Follow these steps to use NAT and WGIC on the same client computer:

1. Make sure your ‘Default gateway’ points to the WinGate server computer (this is done automatically if DHCP is enabled)

2. Make sure that your Windows applications are configured to connect directly to the Internet

3. Install the WGIC on the client computer (it will handle all access to the Internet unless you to explicitly tell it to ignore a particular application)

4. Go to the control panel and open the applet named ‘WinGate Internet Client’

5. Select the ‘Application’ tab and click the ‘Add’ button

6. Select an application that you want to use NAT e.g. Netscape.exe (if you do not know the name of an application .exe, click on the ‘Browse’ button and look for that application on the local drive)

7. Select ‘Local Network Access’ and the selected application will be ignored by the WGIC (in the screenshot below the user is configuring Netscape to use NAT)

8. Repeat this process for each Internet application that you want the WGIC to ignore (and therefore use NAT)

9. Click on the ‘Apply’ button, and then click ‘OK’.

BUt no Internet Explorer........ And your previous reply, do you meen the Tools->Connection->LAN Settings ???? If so, I only have activated the first option......

PLease reply. Thanks in advance.

Ah, yes I meant the LAN settings.

If you have "Automatically Detect Settings" configured, then Internet Explorer will do a name lookup for the name "WPAD" (proxy auto detect). WinGate DNS server when it sees this, returns its own IP address. The IE client then will make a connection to WinGate, and request the proxy-auto-detect file (WPAD.PAC)

WinGate automatically generates one of these.

So, in short, if you have this setting enabled in Internet Explorer, then it will configure itself to use the proxy rather than your WGIC or NAT setup.

You should probably then turn this option off.
