You should not have difficulties making this work. WinGate can have nearly any type of OS on the client side accessing it (I've had Win98, Win2K, Linux and Mac). If you use the DHCP server built into WinGate, it should be even easier. Otherwise, set the NIC in the WinGate box to something private (I think 192.168.0.1) and assign numbers higher than that to your workstations (such as 192.168.0.2, 3, 4, etc). Use 192.668.0.1 as the DNS and gateway addresses for the clients. You will need to make sure both the dialup/dsl adapter and the NIC are enabled on the Services tab in WinGate too. Email me off list if you have further difficulties...or if you get it to work on the first try! Mark On Thu, 4 Jan 2001, Nathan Hartzell wrote: > Here is my situation. I am trying to get a linux box to connect to a Wingate server. I unfortunately have to use Windows as my gateway computer since there are no drivers for my DSL card under Linux. So I am currently using Wingate to do the firewalling or whatever. My other computer can connect under Windows, of course, since it has the wingate client installed, but can I configure Linux to connect to the server as well? If not, are there any products similar to Wingate (all I need is to be able to use the share the internet connection with the server, and be able to configure ports so that I can play games) that someone could reccomend (cost under 100 preferably) that can be connected to with Linux, work under Win98, and, if possible, can be connected to by BeOS as well? > > Thanks, > Nathan Hartzell > -- ________________________________________________________ ReadyNET Go!, Inc. - Building your Business on the net ________________________________________________________ Mark J.
