A wingate is a proxy server that someone installs onto his or her computer which allows for multiple computers on a network to share a single Internet connection. Simple as that. What are wingates used for? Primarily, wingates are used as an aid in FXP'ing files from one pub to another. FXP, or File eXchange Protocol, is a protocol that is mostly used by wingates only. However, a few other applications use FXP as well. Don't confuse FXP with FTP. They are completely seperate protocols.

Internet or Intranet communication capabilities and all required hardware for the connection (modem, NIC card, etc.)

You need the WinGate Installer, a working TCP/IP network (all computers can PING one another), a working Internet connection, and Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME or XP Operating Systems.

You will need to download the latest version from the WinGate Download Site: http://www.ccsoftware.ca/wingate/download.cfm This can be installed right over your current installation. If your upgrade protection is current on your WinGate license you will have access to all new features. If your upgrade protection is not current you will only have access to the features which were available in the release you purchased.

When connecting the WinGate machine to the Internet through a Cable Modem, you first need to be sure to have two Network Interface Card???s (NIC???s) installed in that computer. One connected directly to your Cable Mode and the other connected directly to your internal network. ( You should not try connecting the Cable Modem directly to your network hub as this will cause severe security issues.

During the installation of WinGate , the installation program will ask you if you want to use NT for User Authentication. Place a check in this box and then continue with the installation. This will automatically import the users and groups from NT/2000 into the GateKeeper user database.

WinGate simply imports NT users from the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or Backup Domain Controller (BDC). WinGate cannot administrate (add, delete or modify) current user accounts. All user maintenance must be accomplished in the actual NT or 2000 database itself. Once those changes are made, either stopping and restarting WinGate, or clicking on the "Synchronize now" button within the User Database Options window of WinGate will update WinGate accordingly.

Click the users tab and then right click anywhere in the listing on the left hand side. Select Export Users. This will export all of the users and their passwords into a text file which will be placed in the c:\program files\wingate folder. You can export using a Tab Delimited text file or a Comma delimited text file.

On the left side of the Dialog box, double click on Caching to open a Dialog box (although it should have opened to it, be sure that the systems tab is the highlighted tab on the bottom.) WinGate can be set up to block certain ports. When someone attempts to access these blocked ports, a log is created to track the event.

Yes, WinGate can dial in to MSN through MS Dial Up Networking. Add [msn/] before your login name in WinGate's dialer (without the brackets of course). Without this addition, WinGate will not be able to login to MSN successfully.

This will cause the service to connect via the server on the specified computer and port. Many ISPs have HTTP Proxies (usually using port 8080).

WinGate version information can be accessed from Gatekeeper under the Help menu click "check version".

Yes, MSN Messenger will work just fine behind WinGate. The most stable option is to install WinGate with NAT enabled and set Messenger up as if it had a direct connection to the Internet.

If you have manual proxy settings in your browser it needs to be configured to use the WinGate WWW proxy server for FTP. You need to change your browsers FTP port number from port 21, to port 80 (or the same port number as the WinGate WWW proxy server in Gatekeeper). The WinGate FTP proxy is designed for stand alone FTP clients, such as FTP Voyager.

Using a USB connection is actually no different than a network adapter card on the WinGate server; the configurations will still apply from the WinGate helpdesk based on the operating system you are using. The USB connection will show up in the network properties and will be available for configuration.

With WinGate version 4.x and up, there are a number of options that allow you to secure the network. One is by binding the individual proxy services to a specific interface. This tells WinGate not to accept connections from anywhere but that particular Interface. Another option is to setup your system policies to only accept connections coming from specific address ranges. By using the ENS (Extended Network Support) you will have a fully functioning firewall on the WinGate Server.

You can configure WinGate policies so all users must be authenticated before they have access to the Internet. This can be configured in the System Policies on the Users tab in Gatekeeper. Configure this so everyone must be authenticated. Then in each of your service policies set the default policies to "MUST be used as well".

Yes, you can block access to certain sites through WinGate using the policies in the WWW Proxy Service. You can also restrict users access through WinGate to only certain, pre-determined sites using the Ban list feature in the WWW Proxy Service. When the ISP requires you to enter an @ symbol or any other type of delimiter character, this may indicate that the ISP is using a proxy server.

Open WinGate and under the System Tab double click on the Email option. Under the Domains tab click the Add button at the bottom. In the pop up window enter in the domain name you want WinGate to use and then select the option you wish this domain to be associated with (This domain is hosted locally, This domain points to a local domain, or Relay for this domain)

Most likely, there are issues with the cache in WinGate. You should find that if you disable all caching (WinGate, browsers, web filters, etc.) and you purge the existing cache, you''ll receive Windows updates.

Be sure you are using the latest version of WinGate and verify that there is no traffic in GateKeeper for the amount of time the auto-disconnect is set to. If there is traffic then there is something that is making a request and keeping the connection alive. Stop the application from making a request and that should solve the problem. Also, be sure no requests are being made on the server. The server activity will be tracked, although not seen, through GateKeeper.

Go into the Control Panel, Double click the WinGate Internet Client, click the applications tab. If iexplore.exe is listed here, remove it. The same would hold true if you are using Netscape and netscape.exe is listed here, remove it. Click apply, then OK at the bottom. Now open the browser and you should have no problems.

If you lost the Administrator password for Gatekeeper, you will need to perform an uninstall/reinstall on your Server computer. This is necessary to best protect your WinGate network from unauthorized changes.

You will need to edit your DHCP service in Gatekeeper, click the policies tab and add a policy. Click OK in the new policy to set it for Everyone, Unrestricted rights. Click OK and save your changes.
