Using WinGate Home

WinGate Home has been automatically configured
to work with any Internet connection hardware.
(cable modems, ADSL, ISDN, etc.)
In a WinGate Home session, the server connects
to Internet as normal. Once connection is estab-
lished, any other networked clients can automati-
cally access the Internet by launching their web
browsers or mail programs.
The WinGate Home proxy server computer must
be fully booted before any other networked PCs
can get on to the network. We recommend that
you leave the server PC powered on all the time
while you are using your network. Turn it off only
when you are ending your networking session or
when you leave the house or go to bed.
When you log on to the Internet over the tele-
phone line network, it may take a couple of min-
utes before your clients' Internet stream is clean
and running smoothly.
If you would like to have multiple email accounts
for different people on your network, first you
must find out if your Internet Service Provider
will allow you to have multiple mail addresses on
one dial-up account. You can either call them, send
an email from an existing account, or visit the
ISP's website for more information.
