WINGATE SERVER SOFTWARE:
Running on a single Windows 95/98/2000 or NT computer, this software allows multiple users
simultaneous access to the Internet through a single modem; ISDN; or higher-speed line, such as
xDSL or cable modem connection; and effectively shares a single Internet connection with almost any
type of client computer running TCP/IP.
For more advanced users, the WinGate 3.0 Standard and Pro versions also allow the administrator to
change the IP bindings so that external requests may be routed specifically to your Network IP Camera
– running behind the WinGate software.
