Win2003 domain DNS server & XP pro Wingate

[Ekkas]

How should I set up Wingate 6 on a domain where a Win2003 server must act as DHCP & DNS server? Please give setup for 2003 server & XPpro settings for Wingate settings+network. I've read the help on setup but I believe (as from previous post from Erwan? ) that it's different on a domain where another machine act as DNS server.

This is getting a bit urgent, so please help.

Thanks
Ekkas

Hi Ekkas

Are you running an Active Directory domain, if so
take a read of our knowledge base articles on AD here:
http://support.qbik.com/index.php?_a=kn ... ubcat&_i=1

Basically

If you are running DHCP and DNS and WinGate all on the same machine then you need to disable of the DNS and DHCP services in GateKeeper. (As there is already DHCP and DNS running on the same machine).

If WinGate is running on another machine, disable the DHCP service in WinGate, you can leave the DNS service running. If you use the 2003 DNS server for external DNS resolution the you can list its IP in the DNS resolver in GateKeeper for WinGate to use.

If clients are requiring to use NAT then have the DHCP server issue its static Lan IP of the WinGate server as the Gateway (Router) address that is given to clients.

Hope this helps
Erwin

After I sent the post I saw the (newish) KB and got that article. Thanks it helped, I put in Wingate IP as DNS lookup and router on 2003 server and now it seems o.k. thanks.

You should not use Wingate or router on any NIC in any position, All DNS for all machines must go to the Win2k3 DNS, you can use the Wingate DNS on the Forwarders tab of the Win2k3 DNS server. See this KB article:
