Ummm tcp map....

[stu]

Ive got a tcp mapping thru from a machine running wingate thru to another local machine on my lan..

the machine on the internet lets say has ip 219.1.1.1

the machine iwth wingate 10.0.0.1
the machine the mapping goes to 10.0.0.5

Ok now when the machine with ip 219.1.1.1 connects to the mapping on wingate and gets mapped thro the 10.0.0.5..

The machine on 10.0.0.5 sees the connection as coming from 10.0.0.1 (machine running wingate) is there anyway for wingate to put thru the connection as coming from the original machine (219.1.1.1)

Im not sure if this is possible or if its easy.. but if anyone can answer that would be great

cheers!

With a TCP mapping, WinGate accepts a socket connection, and creates another to the mapped destination, so therefore the connection is from WinGate, as you are seeing here.

If however you use a redirect in the ENS (port security), then you can select "don't translate source address", and then you will get the original source IP address of the external (internet) user.

In order for this to work however, the WinGate machine needs to be the default gateway for the machine on your LAN that the redirect goes through to, else it won't have a proper path back to the client on the Internet.
