Wingate on XP systems and Java problem

[kas]

I have installed Wingate (latest version) onto a W2k system to act as my proxy, and am using the proxy style log with java authentication from my XP stations (as wgic doesn't seem to work on XP). The java applet appeared but very slowly (20 secs at least) so I installed the Java Web Start plug in from Sun Microsystems onto my XP stations. This cured the speed problem but now when a user logs off, having first closed IE and loged off the applet and closed it, he gets an IExplore closing down patch that seems to have come from the task manager. This would suggest that even if the user properly closes IE and the java applet that the wingate applet is still running somewhere. Checking the task manager shows nothing. Also on the wingate proxy the user seems to be still logged in even though he has logged off both wingate and the network. Has anyone any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Thanks

What do yo mean when you say a 'patch'? Do you mean that there is one of those 'End Process' dialogues? What happens if you don't use Java auth, does IE close properly then? You are using direct proxy, rather than TR's NAT?

Also with regard to your WGIC prob, you could try this to (hopefully) fix it:

Neil, what actually happens is as follows:
Using the java log on ( I have to do this as I my users are all roamers with mandatry profiles, logging in/out at systems at will. The wgic methods seem to keep the system logged into wingate even when the users have logged off my net as they don't actually shut down), explorer opens and is followed by the java patch for wingate. Log in works ok, explorer is used. Now when the user closes explorer, clicks the logoff buton on the wingate patch and then closes the applet, java is still running with iexplore as a process. when the user finally logs off the task manager "end program - iexplore.exe" patch pops up and requires the "end now" button to be clicked before log out occurs. Too messy for me. This seems to be a java pug in issue because if the user closes explorer clicks the log off button but does not close the patch. When he logs off everything closes normally with no messages. I would rather see the java patch close properly when explorer closes as it used to. Any ideas?
If I use the explorer java instead of the latest plug in then all is well except for the 20 seconds it takes to get the java log in patch to appear.
