Re: A perplexing conundrum... Wingate/Linux
Try the following
- Default gateway on your pc = wingate pc IP
see /etc/init.d/network and set the gateway ip here
- DNS server = wingate pc IP
add the following line to /etc/resolv
nameserver 192.168.0.1
( change 192.168.0.1 to your wingate ip )
hope that works for you .
cheers
