Hi,
Newly got a problem with my broadband connection.
When I turn on my PC, a message says: "HomeLan is now activated with 10.0
Mbps .". It installs a new network of type Internet Gateway and then the
PC
looses its broad band connection, while other computers on my network
don't
experience any such problems. When I restart the router and the cable
modem,
it functions well for a while and then the problem arises again.

I run Windows XP Pro SP 2, broadband through cable and without need to log
on and a D-Link router 100 Mbps with wireless access (54 Mbps ).

Can this problem be caused by hackers or any viruses? Can it have come up
after I installed a blutooth adapter with capability of connecting to the
Internet chosen? How can I get rid of it? Please help.

The Internet Gateway is your router. You're not disabling the
Internet Gateway, are you? That would tell the router to disconnect
itself from the Internet.

Hello Steve,
Thank you for your reply. The Internet Gateway didn't appear on my computer
as a network before I got these problems. I have tried to get rid of it by
deleting it, but this is not possible to do directly, so I tried to disable
it first and may be that caused the Internet connection to abort. Anyhow,
after it appears, it disappears by itself!

As I can see on the Internet Gateway's dialogs, it allows other computers on
mya LAN to connect to the Internet through my computer. But all our
computers can connect directly to the Internet. So I have to remove this
Internet Gateway and replace it with another one. How can I do it?

No, the Internet Gateway doesn't allow other computers on your LAN to
connect to the Internet through your computer. The computers on your
network connect to the Internet through your router.

What you're seeing in the Network Connections folder on your computer
is an Internet Gateway connection. Your router sends information to
your computer telling the computer to create the Internet Gateway
connection. The Internet Gateway connection is normal. There's no
reason to delete it.

Clicking the Internet Gateway connection lets you monitor and control
the router's operation.

When you disable the Internet Gateway connection, you're telling the
router to disconnect itself from the Internet. You have to restart
the router after doing that to get the router to re-connect to the
Internet.

Don't disable the Internet Gateway connection! If you don't want it
to appear, disable the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) capability in
your router.

For more information on the Internet Gateway connection, see the
Windows XP Help and Support topic "Using Internet Gateway Device
Discovery and Control".
