Hi group,
(I asked this question in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general and was
advise to try my luck in this group.)

A few weeks back we had an ADSL outage.
I setted up a temporarely wireless connection and shared it with others
in the office.

Now our ADSL is up again, but I cannot get rid of the this connection.
I just want to use my good old Lan direct connection to the gateway.
But I cannot remove the 'internet gateway'/'internet connection'.
I have no troubles or anything (and all my networkfunctionality is up
and running fine) but I prefer to have as little connections as possible
to worry about. ;-)
At the moment I have 3 other connections listed under "Wireless or high
speed Internet":
1) Wireless connection (which is disabled)
2) Local Area Network (enabled)
3) 1394 connection (disabled)
I check all three above via properties and made sure (under Advacnced
tab) that the checkbox is NOT checked.
Checkbox reads: "Allow other network users to connect through this
computer's Internet connection."
How can I get back to my old situation and remove this connection sharing?
-> rightmouse menu gives 'remove' but it is grayed out.
A little additional info:
- I run XP prof. SP3.
- I have Windows Firewall disabled (In favor of McAfee firewall)
- If I disable my normal LAN connection, the connection sharing
disappears. It stays away after enabling the LAN connection.
- After a reboot it is always back.
So I expect it must be something that gets activated at startup.
I couldn't find anything I recognize in startup or registry
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run)
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Erwin Moller
You ARE using your "good old Lan direct connection to the gateway".
The Internet Gateway isn't adding anything to your network, and
there's no advantage to removing it.
The Internet Gateway is your broadband router. Clicking the Internet
Gateway lets you monitor and control your router's Internet
connection. For example, disabling the Internet Gateway tells your
router to disconnect itself from the Internet.
Here are two ways to do remove the Internet Gateway:
1. Disable your router's UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) capability.
or:
2. Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows
Components > Networking Services, and un-check "Internet
Gateway Device Discovery and Control Client".
