Summary

Wingate should now be running on your proxy machine.   Check this by going to the Windows Start button, select Programs, select Wingate 2.1, and select Query Wingate Engine. You should get a dialog box that tells you the Wingate Engine is running.  If you don't, navigate back to Wingate 2.1 folder in the Start menu and select Start Wingate Engine.  You will not get a confirmation dialog box, so use the Query Wingate Engine to see if Wingate started ok.

Navigate back to the Wingate 2.1 folder and select Gatekeeper.  This will bring up a dialog box titled On-line Options.  There will be a Username of "Administrator" filled in and the Password field will be blank.   Click OK.



Gatekeeper - Login Screen


Make mine strong!

Gatekeeper will then prompt you for a password and confirmation. Please enter a strong password!  Wingate has become somewhat notorious for opening security holes that spammers and other unwelcome "guests" exploit to use your computer for their mischief.  So do yourself and your fellow netizens a favor and use a strong password.

When you enter a password, a window similar to the one below will open. Double click on the "Services" icon (or click on the "+" sign box) and if you installed just WWW service, you should see:

If you installed WWW, POP,SMTP and News services, you'll see:

This means that three (or six) services are running.   The WWW Proxy server is the one we're most interested in now, since that is what will allow you to access the Web from your sharing Client's browser.

If you're using a dial-up connection, you next need to configure the Wingate dialer.

If you're using a cable modem, you can just proceed to configure your Browser.
