The IP address that you are seeing in Gatekeeper running on the WinGate machine is due to the fact that 127.0.0.1 is the default loop-back address that is standard with TCP/IP networking, and TCP/IP stacks. All this means is that you are logged into the WinGateEngine service from the local host machine, or the local machine. This does not effect the IP address that the rest of your network sees. There is no need to change this value.
