help with dialup setup

[compwhizmm]

Hi,

I have two computers running windows xp, a print server, and a netgear wireless router. One of the computers is a laptop with a wireless card and the other a desktop. I have dialup at my home, and since it is older, I do not have very many telephone connections throughout the house. I want to be able to use my dialup connection wirelessly throughout the house. I want to run wingate on the desktop and access the internet from the laptop. I really don't need a dhcp server or any of the other router functions that wingate has because I already have a wireless router. Can anyone tell me how I could set this up. I only need wingate to dial up to the isp and send the internet to the laptop. Can wingate beside a wireless router? Please tell me how I would set this up. Thanks!!

Hi,

Yes it will work easily, have done same before.

In the page here is a range of help options for configuration.

Also see this page.

Basically what I would do is:

*Install Wingate on the desktop and check the adaptor usage in the second link above, with dial up it will almost certainly show your NIC to the router as internal which is correct and the modem as external.

*Use a private IP range of your choice in the network to notebook

*Easiest way to configure notebook set the NIC to have a DNS and gateway of the desktop NIC and set all applications to have a direct connection with the internet

*Disable the POP3 server / SMTP server to connect eMail via NAT is the easiest for portable users to work when not behind Wingate.

That's about it.

Where do I get to this menu to see the adapters. I am using 5.0.7 and I cannot find this anywhere. I looked at the network tab but it does not show any adapters, it just shows the computers in my workgroup.

Hi

Nev's instructions were for WinGate 6 and later (current version is 6.1.2). we recommend you upgrade - you can still use your version 5 license in WinGate 6.
