Wingate 5.2.3 Port translation

[quazimodo]

Running:
gatewaymachine: win2k, norton corporate, no firewall
client: win2k adv. server, no firewall, norton corporate

now

i have iis listening on port 1675 for all http protocol, and i want to create a port forward for it. I have tried everything from the ENS port security to creating a mapped service. With the ens the port wasnt even opened, and with the mapped service it didnt give the packets to my client.

What should i be doing?

any replies will help

thnx

Hi there

I take it from your description the IIS server is running behind WinGate server. Is this correct ?.

Heres the ENS setup:

Open Extended Network Services under the System tab.
Select the Port Security tab.
Click the Add button.
On the port configuration dialog select "Connections from the Internet" and TCP as the protocol.

Note:
If Internet users are connecting to the IIS server on standard Http (TCP port 80) enter port 80 to 80.

Select the "Redirect packet to this IP address" option, specifying the IP address of the machine running the IIS server. In this scenario, you will need to select the "Overide port option" and specify the IIS listening port (1675).

This way all incoming data on port 80 will be redirected to port 1675 on the listening IIS server.

Note:

If Internet users are connecting specifying port 1675 in the URL e.g. www.xxx.com:1675 then when creating the port hole in ENS enter the port "from 1675 to 1675.
As before select the "Redirect packet to this IP address" option, specifying the IP address of the machine running the IIS server.
In this scenario however you will not need to select the "overide port option."

This way all incoming traffic on port 1675 will be redirected to the listening
IIS server.

Once you have clicked OK and saved, the new mapping will be visible in the Port Security tab.

Hope this helps

Regards

thnx for the reply. I appreciate that you posted that but that is all stuff in the manual. My problem is that even after using the second set of your instructions, port 1675 on the gateway isnt listening, and i get a server rejection error when i attempt to use the website.

I have no idea why, but somehow wingate isnt opening that port. I know this because the only change in the system since browsegate is adding wingate instead, after a complete unistall of browsegate.

anyway if you know what the problem could be i would greatly appreciate the help

thnx

When using NAT for redirection, make sure that the machine you redirect the connection to has its default gateway set through your wingate machine. Also, you'd better tick "Do not translate source IP" option.

If you still have problems pushin traffic through Wingate to IIS server, try running a packet sniffer on IIS side and see whether there are any packets relayed from WG machine to IIS machine.
