Configuration question - New User !!

[kineticedu]

Hi

I have a WG server that is going to be connected behind an ISDN connecetd router that dials into the core of our network that is already sitting behind a firewall;

The questions I have are

1. As there is already NAT/PAT going on our existing firewall can we easily disable the NAT from the WG server. I may just leave the WG box to NAT anyway but I would like know if we can stop it if we need to.

2. The clients are on the same LAN as the WG server and initially need only their www and FTP traffic go via the WG server for caching/bandwidth facilities. The clients also run Telnet/SSH apps [Secure CRT] BUT I need this traffic to be left alone. Can we just disable the facility within the WG client app for this application.

4. Last thing!! Do we still need to install the WG client on the PC that is also running the WG server app. if we want to access www/ftp traffic from that PC

I am reading the manuals but if anyone has quick answers it would be apprecited.

Thanks Martin

Should be able to, especially as you are using WGIC. However, you need NAT if you are using WinGate's bandwidth control feature.

Can we just disable the facility within the WG client app for this application.

Yes, you can. You can either specify it on every client PC (By running the WG Client configuration and setting the mode you want for that application) or, if you have an Enterprise license, by setting the applications in your WRP Centralised Configuration. (One point of config then, on the WinGate Server itself)

4. Last thing!! Do we still need to install the WG client on the PC that is also running the WG server app. if we want to access www/ftp traffic from that PC

No, in fact, WinGate will stop the client if it is detected on the same machine, I believe. If you need that machine to go through WinGate itself, the best option is to proxy the appropriate applications through localhost.
