dummy questions about Wingate and networks

[bztips]

I'm running Wingate and a separate mail server (not Wingate's) on the same Windows 2008 R2 machine.
One NIC card with two external IP addresses -- one for Wingate, one for the mail server (DNS mail.mycompany.com) , both using the same gateway.
One NIC card for internal LAN.

Mail server is set up as IMAP with typical ports for SSL use -- inbound port 143, SSL port 993
Everything seems to run fine, except that remote users cannot get to the mail server.

A real dummy question: Is it correct that attempts to connect from the outside to the mail server directly via mail.mycompany.com are completely unaffected by any port settings in Wingate? Since they're on separate IP addresses.

Hi

WinGate is a firewall, and regardless of IPs associated with an adapter, will firewall it if it believes the adapter is external (which it will by default if the adapter has a public IP).

So you'll need to open holes in the WinGate firewall for those ports for connections from the internet to the WinGate computer.
