A machine will not show it's own shared connection using the Internet
Gateway Discovery and Control Client. Of course you will still see the
regular Local Area Connection icon. We went to a lot of trouble to make it
this way, otherwise you get two icons.
You can name it anything you want but the default name will be
%connectionname% on %icshostname%. If you delete the regkey where the
custom name is stored you will see that again. The ability to get the
connection name and machine name was an extension to the UPnP Internet
Gateway Device spec that we made for WinXP. If you are connected to a
non-XP IGD, then "Intenet Gateway" is the default name. That said, I know
some 3rd party vendors reverse engineered the extensions that we made so
they may have their own custom names as well.
