Downloading & installing liveGate

Supported platforms

liveGate is currently available for Unix & Windows. (Remember that liveGate is run on a computer that's already be on the Multicast Internet - aka. "MBone".)

Unix

Choose your platform: Linux, FreeBSD

Linux (GNU/Linux/x86)

tar -xzf liveGate.tar.gz

Create a configuration file named "liveGateInit", and store it in the same directory as "liveGate". For instructions on how to set up this file, see the configuration instructions, or the "liveGateInit.example" file.

FreeBSD

tar -xzf liveGate.tar.gz

Windows

Download and 'unzip' the file liveGate.zip.
(Alternatively, Windows NT users who have purchased a license code can use liveGateService.zip, which runs as a Windows NT Service.)
Create a configuration file named "liveGateInit", and store it in the same directory as "liveGate.exe" or "liveGateService.exe". For instructions on how to set up this file, see the configuration instructions, or the "liveGateInit.example" file.

Notes on the Windows version

For liveGate to work correctly, your machine's TCP/IP stack must support IP multicast. The standard (default) Microsoft stack works OK, but other stacks might not.
If you're connected to the Internet via other than a dialup connection (e.g., you're using an Ethernet or other LAN), then you should completely remove the "Dial-Up Adapter" entry from the "Network" control panel. Windows 95's multicast implementation (at least, with the standard Microsoft TCP/IP stack) can get confused if dial-up networking is installed, but unused.
