Hi
if you use netstat from the commandline with a -p switch you can get the process ID for the thing that is listening on port 808. Then using task manager you can see which process this is. If it's not WinGate.exe then you have 2 options.
OPTION 1. Stop the service if you don't need it.
OPTION 2. Change the port number that WinGate uses for Remote Control.
If you elect to change the port, unfortunately you have to do this in the registry if you cannot connect with the WinGate Management tool (as in your case).
The steps are:
1. Stop WinGate service
2. In Regedit, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Qbik Software\WinGate\Services\Remote Control Service\
3. Edit the value for "PortNumber". Change it to whichever port you need.
4. Start WinGate service
5. Change the destination in WinGate Management as per below.
You need to alter the port that WinGate Management will try to connect on.
For example if you changed the port to 888 then in the connection in WinGate Management you would connect to localhost:888 so you use a colon to separate the hostname / IP from the port number.
