Wingate dialup problems with bonded ISDN

[bjones]

I seem to remember this problem with earlier versions of Wingate.

I am trying to setup an ISDN dialup using both channels under W2K Pro and Wingate 5.2.2

If I dial up the connection using the standard Windows dialup and tell Wingate that it may use that connection, all is fine at 128k. However, if I allow Wingate to do the dialup, the connection fails to connect at all as it seems to hang in bonding the 2nd line (if I disable the bonding, I get a 64k connection through Wingate dialer)

I think the earlier solution was to use RRAS under W2K Server, but dont have that in this situation.

Any ideas? If Wingate does not support this, can anyone recommend a 3rd party solution to the dialup connection issue. The real problem with a 3rd party dialer is that Wingate will immediately cause a failure to the requesting proxy client if the line is not already up.

Thanks

are you running the latest service pack on your 2k Pro machine?

I seem to recall in the past this problem was sorted by an update to the OS.

Yep, latest SP.

I think its something to do with Wingate's apparent usage of its own dailer, rather then deligating to Windows.

I have the same problem, latest SP on W2K.
If i use W2K dialer it works, but when trying connect with WinGate it hangs.

Changing back to 64 (1 line) and it works with WG.

Any one that could help me out on this??
Thanks!

Johan,

As far as I know, no new information has come up on this subject. I am rather disappointed by the lack of response from QBik.

We still struggle on with the manual 128k dialup connection.
Probably the simplest solution is to buy an ISDN router/modem which will look after the dialup and bonding on its own. This is certainly the route we'll take when I get around to it. This will take the bonding element away from Wingate.

Shame really. Wingate is such a good product. Shame it can't talk to the windows dialer in a standard way.

Regards
Bob

I hope they see this tread now again when i "bumped" the question.
And that Qbik will have a solution.....

And thanks for updating me on the status of your problem!
