i am trying wingate, and download a demo. installed on a computer, sadly it didn't work. my network card got a yellow dot in system properties.

after I uninstall the wingate 4.5.2 demo, the network card works properly.

this is so frustrating

any ideas?

many thanks in advance.

77856 2002-09-09 01:29:00 win98se runing on a compaq p2-266.
no iCS.
I plan to have two machines.
i tried 3com pci 590, realtek 8029, and a 10/100M generic pci nic.
I haven't connect the other pc yet because I want to configure it first. but the NIC is simple not availabe after installing wingate demo.

77857 2002-09-09 01:49:00 i had wingate running on a 2x'98 machine network years ago....
Quite frankly i'm amazed that someone is setting up a network using that now, having said that it works beautifully, but is just a bit more of a pain to set up than i feel it need be.

I would recommend that you go back a couple of steps, and get your machines talking each other first. Make sure they are happy enough to share a drive or a folder somewhere. At this point you can be confident that your 2 machines are happy to talk, and that you don't have a conflict with your modem(s) and network card(s), or some other equally frustrating thing that never happens.


Then, if you configure wingate to share the working modem across the working network to the second machine. you *should* be right, and if you do get problems, at least you will have more clues as to what they relate to.

BTW,
I am ASSUMING that you are sharing a dial up (modem) connection to the web, if you have cable or DSL, please let us know that the assumption is incorrect.

77859 2002-09-09 02:08:00 You mentioned a yellow dot in the system properties, could it simply be disabled? or perhaps part of the driver has been removed. I've never needed a proxy server, regular surfing is fine for me. PP I guess!

77860 2002-09-14 00:14:00 many thanks to all you guys.

i finally get around this problem by choosing not to install the ens feature of wg4.5.2.

ENS in wg does something like NAT. unfortunately my 3 nics fail to support that. ~~~~~:(

cheers
