TRansparent proxy problems

Jul 03 07 12:55 pm

Hello, I've recently installed wingate, and it works fine untill I enable tranparent proxying on port 80. the browsers using wingate as a proxy have a "socket error 10107" message. I then stop the transparent proxying of port 80 and things work again.

I can't afford not to have transparent proxying through port 80, because the whole purpose of having wingate is to denigh and alow web traffic to specific users.

I had wingate trial running on a different computer and it worked fine, so I'm sure the problem is either my configuration or a program conflicting with wingate however I'm not sure where to start.

here is an example from the log of the error ocuring (I had to edit out the websites in it because of forum rules)..........

error 10107, is WSASYSCALLFAILURE which according to MS means

"A system call that should never fail has failed."

not very helpful.

When you have intercepts enabled on the WinGate machine, are you able to still surf from the WinGate machine with a browser?

I'm wondering if you have some interesting filtering software on this machine which is messing with the socket stack - some AV software installs socket filtering stuff which can cause all sorts of problems.

just to clarify - the clients that see the error are those configured to use WinGate as a proxy, but the clients that aren't configured to use WinGate as a proxy don't see the error?

Hi,

Yes, I got the socet failure on a client machine, but I was able to get to msn.com on the wingate machine.

I'm wondering if you have some interesting filtering software on this machine which is messing with the socket stack - some AV software installs socket filtering stuff which can cause all sorts of problems.

I checked, and I couldn't see anything. I had Apache installed, but I un-installed it. I went into controll panel, and couldn't see any services that looked like they would be keeping any ports open. I had AVG running, so I ditched that, still had the same problem. so I'm at a loos to what it could be.

just to clarify - the clients that see the error are those configured to use WinGate as a proxy, but the clients that aren't configured to use WinGate as a proxy don't see the error?

That's right, so

* If the clients have a direct connection to our router - they get web content
* The Wingate Server can browse websites no matter what the Transparent proxy settings are.
* If the clients have the wingate server in there gateway configuration, and the transparent proxy on port 80 is off they get websites
* If the clients have Wingate in there gateway - and - the transparent gateway is turned on for port 80 they get a socket error
