problem in proxy server

[stlony]

I am trying to configure a proxy
I have been configured a proxy server but it is not working i don't know why?
when the client type a site name he had its ip but the site didn't open. is there any thing else must be configured?
i configured one user to use it for the client and the client use it really.
i configured the gateway to my gateway?
what else should i do?

When a client is trying to connect, can you see this connection in Gatekeeper?

This is how i would troubleshoot it.

1. On the WinGate Server confirm how your network cards are marked. The network card pointing towards your LAN Client is usually set as INTERNAL. GateKeeper --> View menu --> Networks.


2. Confirm the WWW Proxy Server has a binding to that network card.
GateKeeper --> WWW Proxy Server --> Bindings.
*The bottom part of that interface has how you want it bound, and the top part of the interface will show if it is actually bound.

If the Binding is not started then either
a) Find the other application that has a claim to port 80:
* I cant remember command (at home) but you could do a netstat -ano followed by a tasklist and compare Ports and PIDS.
b) OR Change the WWW Proxy Server --> General to the port of 8080


3. So once you know the service is started then you can go to the LAN Client and probe the port to make sure no other firewall are in the way.
(Windows) Start menu --> Run --> telnet x.x.x.x 80
*If it times out then there is not service listening on that port or there is a firewall.


4. So if everything is good, but the LAN Client still cant use the proxy then put an override in for the DNS for the sake of testing - ring your ISP, ask for one DNS Server IP Address and then enter it into:
GateKeeper --> DNS/WINS Resolver --> DNS.


5. Confirm the Guest account is enabled in WinGate.
GateKeeper --> User's tab (far bottom left) --> Users


6. And the only other thing I could expect that you are having issues with is a policy. So for the sake of testing:
GateKeeper --> WWW Proxy --> General should have nothing ticked for Authentication.
GateKeeper --> WWW Proxy --> Policies should have the Default Rights set to "Are ignored" and then add in the Everyone group - User may be unknown.


And if you are still having problems then post the forum an ipconfig/all
(Windows) Start menu --> run --> cmd --> ipconfig/all > C:\ipa.txt


The network settings section near the bottom of this Knowledge base article may help too.

Yes genie i can see this connection in gate keeper.


Thanks jamesc i tried all you said but the same happened. when the client ask for page the gatekeeper resolve it but the page can not be diplayed.
when i try to ping any site from the client machine it give me the IP but no replay.

Also i am using wingate on Vista. did the ENS driver that not working may be cause this?

[genie]

Not yet - Wingate v 6 does not support Vista.

[stlony]

Finally it work and it is on Vista.the problem was in the client machine some times client did not start well with what make it do this?

[jamesc]

Would I be correct to assume that you:

1. Have the WGIC installed on this LAN Client?
2. The LAN Client is XP?
3. Have the WWW Proxy Server specified in Internet Explorer on the LAN Client?
4. Have WinGate installed on Vista - and hence the Extended Networking Service driver will not load.

Is that correct?

[stlony]

yes you are correct but i don't do this step:
Have the WWW Proxy Server specified in Internet Explorer on the LAN Client?
do you mean that configure iexplorer to work with proxy server? no i didn't

The lan client some time work and other did not open with the iexplorer.
