#
# I'm helping a local office get their Wingate proxy server working
# again. But I'm not too much of an exper here. It's a windows setup
# (sorry) but my questions are general. If you prefer please email me
# off-list.
#
# I just read in the WinGate proxy server website that if you can ping
# another computer then TCP/IP must be working ok. Is that right? Does
# ping only work over TCP/IP???
I think so.
# Another question: client machines are set to connect to the proxy
# server on port 90 (sic), is this wrong? HTTP requests usually go
# through port 80, right? If the server and clients are all set to 90 is
# this ok? Is it a good idea?
#
I'm inclined to believe that 'port 90' is a typo...
