mIRC v4.1
1. The 'mIRC Setup' dialog box will be presented when mIRC starts or from the
menu bar, under the 'File' menu, select 'Setup ...'.
2. Select the 'Firewall' tab and enable the 'Use SOCKS firewall' option.
3. Under 'Hostname', enter 'wingate'.
4. Check that the port number is that which the WinGate SOCKS proxy is configured
to accept connections on (usually 1080). The 'User ID' and 'Password' fields
are redundant (thanks to SOCKS) and do not require entries.
5. Under the 'Identd' tab, check that the Identd server option is disabled.
6. Under the 'Local Info' tab, you must enter the IP Address that was assigned to
your machine (suggested as being in the 192.168.0 subnet) when it was
configured to connect to your TCP/IP LAN. The Local Host name will also have been
assigned to your machine and must be entered. mIRC will not be able to detect these
fields as WinGate does not support reverse look-ups.
7. Still under 'Local Info', the 'On connect, always get:' options are not fully
understood. It is trial and error as to which of the two options should be
enabled to make the application work. Both the 'Normal' and 'Quick' IP method
options seem to work.
8. The rest of the mIRC set up does not relate to WinGate.
SOCKS5 Service, no specific port number.
