I have a system on a lan which uses Wingate as a proxy to share a cable
connection.

Can someone help me get GPL running thru the proxy. I'm not quite sure how
to get any online games working.

thx
Neil

Hi Neil,

I also use Wingate and run GPL.  Here's what I've found.  DSL connect
384k/1.5mb-128k.  Originally I ran Wingate 3.05  Home version on an NT box
and would connect as a client from my GPL machine.  This will not work due
to UDP ports not open or cfg options in wingate/home version that would let
me open
the ports.  I then downloaded the Wingate 4.0 Pro beta (30 days) and
installed it on my GPL machine as the Wingate server.  So far this has
worked well, but I would like to run the Wingate server on the NT machine.
I'll let ya know if I find out anything more.  BTW using the original config
I was able to run N3, NL, and half-life/team fortress classic, Falcon4.
Usually I
shutdown the Wingate engine when racing, cant have the kids running real
audio/video or something as I enter the Masta kink now can I? :)

Another option might be using Linux for your
masquerading needs. Kids safe ;-)
