Re: Network addressing
On the subject of wingate ... I fully agree .... I am a regestered user of
wingate, but I don't use it. I have switched to using two products (you can
probably get away with using either one instead of both, I have some freaky
circumstances) - 123proxie and proxy+. Neither product is as big or as
resource consuming, and neither require more than proxie mapping on the
clients (no client side software to install). Proxy+ is the better of the
two and the smaller (resource wise) from my standpoint.
