If you still cannot connect after you change your DNS settings try this: I run Wingate Standard 4.3 with Extended Network Service (ENS). The ENS allows non-wingate client machines to connect to the network. I dual boot my server and my workstation. The Linux workstation works seemlessly no matter what service is running. You do need to ensure ENS is running. Start Gatekeeper, right click on Extended Networking. Select properties. Then enable Extended Network Driver. Good Luck!
