Linux & WinGate
I'm using WinGate 2.1d on the computer with the dial-up connection (it is not my computer so that is why I can't put linux on it as well) I want to be able to access the internet using the standard linux tools (eg. ping, telnet, etc.)
Now, I do have Netscape working using the WinGate proxies. I want to be able to set up linux (on my computer) to make it seem like it has a permanent connection to the internet, so I can use programs that do not have proxy settings, eg ICQ.
Now I know of two ways to get this done, but I don't know how to go about it:
1. Set up linux and the Windows PC (Win95B OSR2) so the windows PC is acting as a gateway, and I set the gateway options on the linux machine. I have tried this but I can't ping anything outside of the local network - I can ping the IP address of the PPP connection, but nothing on the internet. This would be my perferred option.
2. Set up on the linux machine a socks client and then connect the socks client to the WinGate socks proxy. I have tried using a socks package (NEC socsk5) but it doesn't even seem to work at all. I'm not sure if I have set it up properly? HELP?
Here is my network configuration:
Internal network 192.168.0.*
Internal subnet 255.255.255.0
ISP DNS Server 203.87.61.11
WinGate IP 192.168.0.3
My IP 192.168.0.1
anything else you need just ask me
NOTE: I know all works well with WinGate as when I run Windows it works well.

everything you should have to do is to set the "default gateway" on your linux host. set it's default gateway to be the wingate ip (ie. 192.168.0.3). on the linux-side nothing more should be necessary to be done.
...except setting the nameserver as 203.87.61.11 :)

Guiyu Yes, I know about the wingate WRP feature (only in version 3, I'm still using version 2.1d), But I was looking for something like what you say winroute does - I'm looking up on it now, and will get back to you.
