If Wingate supports DHCP assignment, then I'd set up a range in Wingate, then set up Linux to obtain an IP address via DHCP on bootup, this will then give the Linux box everything it needs to know to be able to connect to the internet.
If not, then you can manually set up by configuring the Linux box to use a gateway of 192.168.0.1, therefore, any traffic that isn't intended for the local network will be sent to 192.168.0.1 and presumably, Wingate will initiate a connection.

Two things really. firstly i've got linux working on my laptop now (the one with the dodgy hard disc). Mandrake linux would install fine(ish) and just would not boot but i tried red hat which is working fine now (appart from some immense slow down when using an openGL program....i've got one of those rage mobility cards in the laptop which does support opengl hardware acceleration thingy so i don't know why its slow!) secondly. I unfortunatly have to use AOL to connect to the internet :-( (it's my mum she like the colours or summat, i hate the need to use there software, the ammount of spam, the ammount of adverts etc etc) anyway :-), I have wingate running a NAT on my local network (wingate is running on the computer 'server' (192.168.0.1)). I am wondering how i would set up linux on my laptop (welby (192.168.0.4)) so that i could connect to the internet using nat.
