wingate with 2 internet connection

[jlpk007]

Hi,

Can wingate do the following?

2 internet connection(one is a adsl line,another is a 3.5g modem attached to wingate)

how do i say control group A user to connect to the internet via the adsl line and Group B user connect to the internet via 3.5g network??

Thank You
Jeffrey

with WinGate 6, you'd need to do this using 2 WWW proxies, one that one set of users uses, and the other used by the other users, then set the gateway settings for each proxy to use the respective internet connection.

For the next version of WinGate you can set gateway in policy per user per request etc.

if i set two proxy...that mean it cannot be transparent proxy right...?

I have to set the proxy setting in the browser of user com right?

Thank You
Jeffrey

Hi yes, since both proxies can't intercept the same port number.

Also since you'd then need to manually assign which one to use based on which gateway you want the connection to go out of.

Otherwise you'll need to wait for the next major version (which we are working hard on).

how do i set the proxy to be non transparent?

[jlpk007]

how do i know which proxy is the user using for internet access??
cant seem to find any event ..Thanks

[jlpk007]

my original internet is port 8080.(transparent proxy)<-www proxy
my 3G connection is port 8081 (non transparent proxy)<-www proxy

once i dial in to my 3g connection,all the client will go by 3g connection even though i nv set the proxy at the user end.

how come user keep using 3g internet once it is connected?

[jlpk007]

managed to solve the problem..I forgot to set the gateway for the proxy.

i have another problem

if i use www proxy(port 8081) 3G network.i cant use any other service that doesnt use port 80 and 443...looks like the nat for www proxy(3G) has some misconfig..how do i solve this?
I tried to send and receive mail i get error,but it works once i switch my porxy over to the old network..NET surfing works perfectly

Thank You

sorry,I found another error message..

when i dial in my 3G internet,my wingate server uses that connection instead of the ADSL.Would like the wingate machine to use ADSL instead of 3G network.

I also notice when i dial in to my 3G,all my client cannot connect to FTP server via filezilla.Once i DC the 3G internet everything is back to normal..

Thank You

Hi Jeffrey

Standard windows practise is whenever you make a dialup connection, it creates a default route, and makes it the highest priority. This will then be the route that WinGate uses for anything where you don't specify a gateway to use.

To override this, you can override the metric for your adapter that connects to the ADSL, set it to 0. Then WinGate will use this adapter's default route in preference to anything else, and only a proxy that you specifically set to use the 3G connection will use that connection.

Override the adapter metric by editing the adapter on the network panel in GateKeeper.

hi Adrien,

sorry, i tried setting my metric of my adsl line to 1 and inside wingate i uses overwrite metric to 0 but when i dial in to my 3g ..the metric of 3g becomes one and adls automatically becomes 2

[adrien]

Hi

Windows sets the metric like that for the system route table (which you'll see with a route print command from the command line), but WinGate will still use the overriden metrics that you set in WinGate.

Does WinGate access the ADSL and 3G from separate interfaces? If it's the same one, then overriding the interface metric won't help (won't distinguish between them), and you'd need to reset the metrics yourself with the route command... which is a pain. I think there is some dialer software out there that will run batch files etc when you connect etc, so you could possibly use that. Windows AFAIK doesn't allow you to override metric on dialups.

R&RAS might. What system is this on?

Hi Adrien,If i set the metric to 0(using wingate overwrite metric)..for my permanent ADSL line.

i have problem with all service not using port 80,443 after i connect to my 3g network...This thing is giving me all sorts of problems...:(.Pls advise..

another option is to stop the 3G connection from creating a default route at all.

You can do this with the dialup connection settings "use default gateway on remote computer"

Try turning this off, then it won't mess with your default routes - you can then still use the ADSL for most traffic, but WinGate should still allow you to direct traffic through the 3G system, since it's a dialup connection.

Hi adrien,

the setting ("use default gateway on remote computer")is already checked.
my wingate keeps using the dialup as the default route....can you elaborate more on the previous mail about the script to change the route?thks

Thank You

Hi

What I meant was to uncheck that option.
