Hi,

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're saying, are you trying to play an internet game? Is main.exe part of the game? What is MU Online?

Regards,

Hi,

You'll probably need to map the ports that you listed through to the client machine, you can do this in the Extended Networking menu on the port security tab.

Do you have the internal NIC's DNS server set? If so then you should remove this setting, you should only have DNS set on the external NIC of the WinGate server.

Matt

Hi Mattp

best regards

On the server info that you listed in your first post you specified the DNS server address that you have set in the WinGate machine, make sure that you haven't specified this address in the internal NIC of the WinGate machine, it should only be entered in the external NIC properties.

Are you seeing any hits on the firewall from the server that you're trying to connect to?

Can you connect from the WinGate server?

my PC only have one NIC and I connect to internet using Dial up Networking and I don't know which one is internal or external NIC .

I didn't see any hits on the firewall from the server screen activity once i run the MAIN.EXE FILE the program will coz some err msgs and ask me to close the program and i have no such problem if i connected directly to internet using my 56k external modem.

Yes, I can connect to internet using my client PC ( 2nd PC ) thru' wngate to surf internet just couldn't play my fav Online game ( MU-Online ) using my client PC even after I mapped the port require by this game.

If you only have one NIC then you have to make a proxy connection, ie you'll have to set IE to connect via a proxy server(WinGate). Whether your game will work like this or not I don't know, maybe you can contact them and ask. I couldn't find anything related to support on their website.
