NAT without ENS driver?

[Dr_IT]

Hello,

I have a fat client computer which can connect to another Win7 virtual desktop through local LAN. But this fat client can not connect to some other machines (specific ip ranges), while the virtual desktop does have this access. So to let the fat client connect to these machines i need to reroute these specific ip ranges to the virtual machine. I already tried this with the windows routing table, but it turned out i need some kind of NAT, because otherwise those machines don't know where to send their data back to (e.g. a simple ping does not work now, while it does when some sort of NAT is enabled).

Now on a non virtual machine i already tried the NAT functionality of WinGate, which worked perfectly. However to use NAT i have to install ENS driver which gets added to the network adapters. But i have to reboot and this is where my problem lies. Turns out this virtual desktop (VDI) resets all added network functionality on a reboot, so the installed ENS driver is gone when rebooting (even added virtual loopback adapters are gone). When i click Extended Networking in WinGate it shows status "Not installed".
Is it possible to add ENS driver/functionality without rebooting (e.g. with specific command, add adapter, etc)?

If this is not possible are there other options to achieve the same (e.g. TCP mapping service, Socks proxy, WinSock Redirector service, etc)?

Hi

the short answer is no it's not possible to install the driver without rebooting.

You could try something like SOCKS.

There are auto SOCKS clients (e.g. proxifier) you can use to get connections out through a SOCKS server for an app that doesn't know about SOCKS.

That's too bad it won't work without reboot :(

Will socks handle everything, like f.e. database connections, exchange, rdp, etc?
I'm guessing it will not work as f.e. i have to connect with one db program to different servers, same for RDP, etc.

Hi

SOCKS can handle any TCP, so if you run a socksifying client, you can connect to anything without NAT.

I'd suggest giving proxifier a try.
