CHAPTER 1 - SHARING YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION

Note: We used Wingate 3.0.4 . Any newer versions and other 3.x versions should have similar layouts and instructions!

1) Download or Buy Wingate  from Deerfield

2) Copy the Wingate Installation Program to your other computers on your network,  using Network Neighborhood. You should now have at least 2 of these install files.

3) Install Wingate on your Server.

4) Use Wingate Standard edition.

5) Follow the rest of setup. If you are asked to reboot, reboot.

6) In your task bar you should now see the wingate task bar logo. Picture.

7) Wingate is now installed on your server.

8) On your client computers, go to Wingate Install. Make sure that Wingate detects your server computer and make sure it wants to make your other computers the client. If it doesn't detect, still make these computers the client.

9) If you are asked to reboot, do so.

10) At this point, you should be able to surf the net on all of your PC's. If you are not able to, make sure your network is working. If it is, go to Wingate (using the task bar), and make sure no settings have an X on them. Contact Wingate or use there Program Help for further config.
 
 

CHAPTER 2 - ADDING A MAC USING OPEN TRANSPORT TO THE WINGATE INTERNET SERVER

1) Each program has to be configured manually. However make sure that the following services work in Gatekeeper.

FTP
LogFile
Pop3
Real Audio
Socks
Telnet
VDOLive
WWW

2) Move to Program Setup (Chapter 4) for how to setup each program on the internet.
 
 

CHAPTER 3 - ADDING A MAC USING MacTCP TO THE WINGATE INTERNET SERVER

1) Apple Macintosh System before 7.6.5 come with MacTCP. To upgrade to System 7.6.5, contact your friendly Apple Mac dealer.

2) Once installed, make sure you have Apple Talk activated. Click on the Apple icon from the menu bar and select Chooser. Activate Apple Talk by selecting the appropriate check box.

3) You will now need to switch the network across from LocalTalk to EtherTalk. To do this, click the Apple icon from the menu bar. Select Control Panel and then double click on the Network icon.  Now click on the EtherTalk icon to switch from LocalTalk.

Trouble Shooting: If for some reason, EtherTalk can't be activated, then it is most likely that you have a hardware problem with either your network card, network cable or your network points.

4) Now go back to your Control Panel folder and double click the MacTCP icon.

5) When you see this folder, click on the Ethernet icon.

6) .Press the more button. You will now see this folder (click here).

7) In the Obtain Address section, click on Manually. Now in the IP Address section, select Class "C".

8) Set the subnet to 255.255.255.0

9) Set Gateway IP address as 192.168.0.1

10) Set the DNS to the IP address of the WinGate gateway machine. In most cases this would be 192.168.0.1

11) Don't worry if you can't set the IP number of this machine at this stage. Close this window (I think Mac users call them Folders).

21) Once the above window (folder) is closed, you can now go ahead and set the IP number for your machine simply by typing in the IP number in the appropriate section.(See here). In our case, this machine has been set to, 192.168.0.5 Other machines on the network will differ by their last digit. For example, the machine either side of it might be 192.168.0.6 and 192.168.0.4

13) The next thing to do is to configure your client software. This process is similar to setting up clients for the Windows platform. Note however, in the client setup with Macs, simply replace the word gateway with the IP number of the gateway machine (which in many cases will be 192.168.0.1) This is because I haven't worked out where the hosts file is  located on the Macintosh computers. :-(

14) Once you have launched an application that uses the TCP/IP stack(eg Netscape), you can test your network by pinging this machine from your Windows gateway. (On the Windows machine, go to the Dos prompt and type in ping 192.168.0.5). If you get a reply, then it's working.

15) Pat yourself on the back !

CHAPTER 4 - SETUP OF NEW SERVICES.

On my Wingate, I have created my own services for Macs. To do this, right click and create a new service. Choose what you want to make, and add + 1 to each, ie HTTPS/WWW = 80 now =81. Make sure you disable Disconnect after 60 seconds. If you make your own servers, make the correct adjustments for each program.

CHAPTER 5 - SETUP OF PC COMPUTERS IF NOT USING WGIC

1) Follow the instructions for the PC Programs in Chapter 11. Most programs have similar Proxy Setup Configs.

2) If the program does not have Firewall or Proxy support, you can't use the program without extra help. Please e-mail Adam.

CHAPTER 6 - SETUP OF  INTERNET PROGRAMS NOT USING WGIC

Note: WGIC is default in all Windows 95,98 and Me. The following should not have to be done, but can be, if you don't want to use the WGIC or for some reason your WGIC doesn't work!

Note: If for some reason you have changed your ports (due to conflict) please make the correct adjustments for each setting.

Note: My computer has Wingate Server running on 192.168.0.1 , thus that is what I have told you to use. However if it is another IP address, please make the correct adjustments for each setting.

Note: If the program I am using is older or newer than the version you are using, don't worry, the settings still work. The only differences is you have to manually find your proxy setup section of the program. Furthermore, PC's and MAC's have layouts that are rather the same or will have the same idea when setting up.
