Configuring Clients to use NAT
All that is needed for Clients to use NAT is:
- The default gateway entry in the client machines network properties must be set to the private IP address of the WinGate server. This setting is part of TCP/IP properties and can be configured in several ways:
This can be done:
- Automatically with the WinGate DHCP server (recommended approach)
- Using another DHCP server running on your network, and setting the Gateway(Router), and DNS options to issue the private ip address of the WinGate Server (not recommended)
- Manually configure the network properties of the client machine.
Once the client has Gateway address set to point at the WinGate server, then the clients will be able to utilize NAT.
