Trouble after installation

Nov 17 04 4:36 am

I have successfully installed Wingate 6.0 on my PC running Win 2K professional in a Workgroup.

After installing wingate I can not see any computer in my workgroup by I am able to ping every user by using IP addresses.

I do not know why it happens. I would like to carry on connecting/pinging users by using computer name in my workgroup.

Can you reach them by name or by IP?

E.g. \\buttercup OR \\192.168.0.67 (Whatever the IP might be).

If you cannot, check two things. First - that your adapters (On the Network pane in GateKeeper) are correctly marked as "Internal" (LAN) and "External" (Internet). Then, verify that you are not getting firewall hits for local network traffic.

Thank you very much for your answer. I have solved the problem disabling DHCP and DNS.

Is that in WinGate or in the OS?

You are right.

I have reinstalled Wingate and the same trouble has occured. I have disables DNS and DHCP and nothing has chenged. At the end I have changed the type of network my adapter is connected to (an internal protected adapter" and everything is OK.

None of this sounds very right at the moment. (It is working, but the behavior is confusing me at the moment).

Is it possible for you to run "ipconfig /all" and "route print" from the command line and posting those out to me, please? (You can email them to the address listed in my profile; or post them here)
