... I'd be curious where do you see this "Internet Gateway" and exact what
does it say ..
The reason I ask is because it sure sounds the Internet Gateway and
Connection Sharing option in windows Network Connections folder ? - Which
you dont need nor want running.
Or is it the Router Icon and DI604 description in Network Neighborhood
that shows when you have uPnP enabled.
