Clients cannot cannect via WGIC

[Hoof Hearted]

I had a previous thread on this, but it seemed to have stalled. So i'm starting a new one.

In an attempt to fix this, i've competely uninstalled and re-installed Wingate on our SBS2008 server. So here's what I did to configure it after the re-install:

1. I disabled the DHCP and DNS Services because the SBS Server already has these.
2. I edited the DNS/Wins resolver and added our ISP DNS servers in there.
3. I went through all the services and gave all the users unrestricted rights to use those services.

The situation is still the same as previously.... Clients can get internet access perfectly with the Proxy Server, but not with WGIC. When a client attempts to connect with WGIC, a dialog appears saying 1 byte received, 1 byte sent and eventually IE says Page cannot be displayed. Gatekeeper Activity shows a WRP Session for Iexplore.exe.

One wierd thing is that from the client pc's I can ping the web adresses. So DNS appears to be working. I just dont understand why the pages are not coming across. From a client pc, I also tried to use telnet to get into a remote SMTP server. That doesn't work either while WGIC is enabled.

Hi

for TCP connections via the WGIC, we redirect the client connection to a TCP redirector port on the WinGate server. If the connection was to a dest port that is intercepted by a service, we redirect the connection directly to that service.

If you have some firewall settings perhaps blocking this port, then the control channel might connect (showing app name in Gatekeeper etc), but connections from the apps to the TCP redirector may not.

Do you have any other firewalling on on that server?
