I configured my laptop to use DHCP, at work I connect to a "real" linux gateway
server, at home I connect to my network with WinGate installed on it.
The WinGate Server recognizes that Mozilla sends TCP/IP packets just like
Netscape, IExplore, FTPClients... but at my laptop where the WinGate Client is
installed, Mozilla just does not displays anything, then Mozilla crashes.

Could not create a testcase, perhaps some Windows users should install
WinGate...

alangho@itbnet.de, please provide the Build ID for the version you were using,
and, if possible, Steps to Reproduce the problem as described in the
Bug-Writing Guidelines at
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html

Also, IIRC, Wingate works as a proxy: have you set up

Note that proxy support is not yet complete - see bug 20400.

Please provide a URL for WinGate if you'd like anyone to test this.

Thanks!
thought build ID was submitted:
I used the nightly build from 31.(30.?)12.1999 with Windows NT and 2000 and
WinGate 3.0.5
I configured not to use proxy support, I used "direct connection to Internet",
that´s why I was surprised that Mozilla crashed.

a stack trace would be helpful...
Target Milestone: M16
as i do not use WinGate anymore I can´t provide any stack trace (I use Win2000 
Internet Connection sharing service instead)
Adding "crash" keyword to all known open crasher bugs.

This looks like it is about the same issue that is being addressed in bug
26493, "Install crashes, browser doesn't browse web", M14, beta1: Wingate.
The only real difference is that the reporter here was using WinNT,
and 26493's reporter was using Win95, but now that bug 23709 is fixed,
they should be on an equal footing.

seems to work now with wingate

It would be helpful to know what build you used succesfully with Wingate;
at last report in bug 26493 the M14 build worked with Wingate on WinNT only if 
Wingate was enabled *after* Mozilla was started. Thanks.
sorry, just works using the way proposed in bug 26493, using build 2000031409,
will mark this one as a dup of
