Wingate in Win2K

The setup sounds like this:

Currently, I have a Win2K Server as a Wingate Server and connected to the Internet via modem, LAN via NIC. Other PCs in the LAN will used this Wingate server as a gateway to browse the internet, which makes Wingate as a proxy. The connection to the internet is not online for 24 hours, it will only dial if there's traffic from the Server itself or other PC's in the LAN.

The problem is the Wingate Server will not dial if there's traffic from the server itself or other PCs in the LAN. Manual dialing has to be performed.

I have set the Wingate server "to dial when connection is needed' but it still wont dial.

Any ideas ?


Thanks.

EricWestbo,

How about if the traffic is FTP, I mean I want the auto dial when there's a ftp traffic. Will it be the same ?


Thanks.
I would assume so, given that the server would be responding to to the client's request for access, just via a different port.

You original question is telling me that you've tried to set up on-demand dialing, but it didn't work... on-demand will, normally, open the connection via the server at the server's and/or client's request.

Therefore, go through the steps above & let's make sure that your settings are correct.  If not, I'd assume that changing them to allow for on-demand dialing will result in the service working as expected.

Let me know one way or the other...
