Wingate and VPN connection to the Internet provider

[SergeK]

I connect to my Internet provider through MS VPN due to security reasons, but I can't share this connection using Wingate. I tried to change adapters type to internal/external, but it doesn't help. When I connect to my provider directly, without VPN, WinGate works fine and other computers share the connection.
Is there a way to setup WinGate to share VPN connection ?
I have 2 network cards , 1-st is set for the Internet connection, 2-nd card is the LAN card and it has the following settings :
IP 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Defaul gateway : empty
DNS servers : empty

On client computers
IP 192.168.0.X
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Defaul gateway : empty
DNS servers : empty


Thanks,
Serge.

Is WinGate on the machine that is running the MS VPN? Could you try moving it to a machine behind the VPN server?

Try setting default gateway for the client machines through WIngate.

Yes, WinGate is on the machine that connects to the provider through MS VPN, other machines are notebooks, so it's impossible to move WinGate to another machine.

Try setting default gateway for the client machines through WIngate.

I tried :
On client computers
IP 192.168.0.X
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Defaul gateway : 192.168.0.1 ( Wingate server machine address)
DNS servers : empty

it doesn't help - I can't ping any external address from client machines such as DNS.

How are the adapters in your system marked (in terms of internal/external)?

How are the adapters in your system marked (in terms of internal/external)?

Telent - is the name of my internet provider
DLink AP is the name of my LAN

Now in WinGate network tab they are:
DLink AP - Internal

Telenet - External
Telenet VPN - Internal

I tried all combinations for Telenet adapters ( IE, EI, II, EE)

OK, then. You have to mark the VPN adapter as external and your LAN adapter as internal. Then, if you want all your network traffic go through VPN link, you have to make sure that the default route noi your Wingate machine points to the VPN pseudo-adapter - not through your real Telenet-connected NIC. Can you send me your Wingate routing table?

Aye, here's the problem - you have two default gateways - the first one being is your real external NIC default gateway. I would suggest that you try setting metric for your real NIC to some high value (say, 20) and make sure that thre routing table shows the VPN route metric is lower.

I write this post on the notebook, that works as WinGate client :)
So, the problem is solved.
Thanks a lot for your help !
( Also I removed 224.0.0.0 - route /delete 224.0.0.0)

Regards,

Serge.

No worries, Serge - glad it worked out for you.
