You're welcome. It can be hard to get the Internet Gateway icon to
appear, because it requires making the right settings on the client
and the host, and the client settings depend on what version of
Windows the client runs.
Does Internet access work on the client? If so, I wouldn't worry
about the Internet Gateway. If not, check the TCP/IP settings of the
client's LAN connection (right-click | Status | Support | Details).
It should show:
IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1
