Hi
I replied also to your support ticket, but for the benefit of others with this issue (which also happens sometimes on 2k8).
the dot net port sharing service (called Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service) if running uses port 808. This prevents WinGAte from starting the Remote Control Service, and means that WinGate Management isn't connecting to WinGate - it's connecting to the dot net port sharing service instead, which of course will never work, so the connection is closed.
There are 2 options to resolve this
1. disable the net.tcp port sharing service. Most people don't need this service. It's only used if you are running multiple .NET services that use the same port number.
2. Change the port in the Remote Control Service. This requires editing the registry, since you can't get into WinGate Management to do it.
a) stop WinGate service
b) open regedit, and navigate to the following (depending on your OS)
on 32 bit windows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Qbik Software\WinGate\Services\Remote Control Service
on 64 bit windows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\Qbik Software\WinGate\Services\Remote Control Service
Find the REG_DWORD value called PortNumber, change the value to some new value (e.g. 888)
c) start WinGate service
d) when connecting with WinGate Management on a non-standard port, you need to enter the port number in the server name e.g. localhost:888
