... just like the gateway PC with popular software like Napster (proxy nightmare) or any Gnutella client working with no fuss. Sygate also uses new 'OneNIC' support that allows for one network card to be used to share an Internet connection if a DSL or cable modem is used. This 'Virtual NIC' means that users no longer have to install a second NIC on the gateway machine, this can save time and money. Another thing about Sygate (surprised me this!) is that the client software does not have to be instal...more

Sygate was the first piece of proxy software that i used, and i worked without any bother within minuits. Sygate has support for all the protocols that is supported in TCP/IP. The only problem ive had is when i got my new computer with WinME installed on it. For some wierd reason sygate didnt work with this. I know that WinME has ICS installed with it... but that didnt work either. So i had to change my proxy software, and every other piece of software that i use the SOCKS protocol will not work. I never had this problem with sygate, everything worked. I could use napster and any other internet software that used SOCKS worked fine. Now im lost with this. ... Read the complete review

Have you ever noticed how complicated and how sometimes impossible it is to set up your home network to share one internet connection from a host computer using windows 98 ICS ? (even when you have extensive computer knowledge)! Well now you dont have to even bother, for a small 3Mg download you can get Sygate Manager for FREE! You install on the host machine, install on the client, then connect to the internet on the host and the client will also be able to use the internet at the SAME TIME! Its that simple, !!!, works straight away and will configure all your TCP/IP settings itself with you only having click install. one click suddenly turns into a work ... Read the complete review

If you actually look at the product overview on the Sygate website it leads you to believe "this thing must be complicated!" but it is actually one of the simplest proxies I have used. One of the advantages of Sygate over other proxies is that is uses NAT (network Address Translation) which allows the PC that is sharing the internet to have full access without the need for time consuming frustrating browser set-ups, port forwarding or software configuration. All clients act just like the gateway PC with popular software like Napster (proxy nightmare) or any Gnutella client working with no fuss. Sygate also uses new 'OneNIC' support ...

This relatively small program works and absolute dream. It allows anyone with limited/no knowledge of networks to share a dial up/broadband connection with little or no effort. This is what ICS should have been like - take note MS!! It configures your settings perfectly, and within 10 mins you can be up and sharing. I have had very little in the way of trouble with this and have even installe sybergens firewall software - and both work together with no problems at all. An excellent and easy to use product, well worth trying. ALso if anymore info is needed on setup then himhiggins.com has everything you need to help you through - its ... Read the complete review
