Hi

We tested this scenario quite a bit. You should be able to simply run WinGate on your home machine, configure incoming connections on your home machine to allocate an IP in a private address range (rather than using DHCP) and then surf through WinGate.

You may also need to manually assign DNS on the dialin machine, since for some reason "incoming connections" and Routing and Remote Access doesn't let you specify what will be assigned to dialin users, instead lamely insisting on getting the settings from another adapter in your system.

The key really is the private IP address range. Set it to say 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.10 or so. Then WinGate will treat it as internal, and will provide NAT, DNS etc services to your dialin client.

I think that what I missed DNS configuration coz everything is just working fine ,WGIC can see the server and the server show any activity of the client such as IE running but still can't brows ,,, after a long time of loading I got blank page without any error message.
how to configure DNS ,,, just enter the IP address of the server there ?

Yes, you should be able to enter the DNS server to use in the client machine in the Networking settings for that dialup connection.
