Without knowing more about your setup, it sounds as though the techs
installed WRP for use with Windows clients, and NAT or proxies for use
with the others. If so, the networking setup on your Linux box should
resemble that on your UMAX machine.
What version of Wingate are you running? Can you access the Wingate
control program (Gatekeeper)? Does your UMAX box get its IP and other
parameters with DHCP from the Wingate server? There really isn't enough
information here to give you much specific help. You can get a lot of
information on your Win 98 SE box by running winipcfg. You can confirm
that you are running WRP on your wintel client by looking at the control
panel, which should contain an icon for the Wingate client.
