Problems with Wingate2.1

[Wasert]

Hi

I'm trying to share my dial-up internet connection between two computers.

First I tried to use Sygate, however it didnt get it to work. so i decided to use wingate because it's free.

I installed it and configured the client computer to use a proxy server. I think I did everything OK, but I cant get it to work.

I can share files between the two computers, though. It's just that internet sharing wont work

What OS are you running? If its 98SE or higher, they have a built in internet connection sharing. If you use ICS, then you don't have to setup anything in your web browser. Otherwise, with wingate, you need to go into tools -> internet options -> connections -> lan settings -> check the box that says use proxy server -> advanced -> then in the http, secure, and ftp boxes, you need to type in the IP address of the server (the computer that has wingate installed on it). Then make sure the port is 80 for http and secure, and 21 for ftp. Then everything should be set.

As you can see, wingate is a lot more complicated to setup than ICS.
