I have a laptop with a built in Ethernet adapter plus a Linksys PCMCIA
card. Both are active. (Wireless NIC for access to print server on a
different private network.) Neither the Local Area Connection nor the
Wireless Network Connection have ICF or ICS enabled.
I believe that sometime in the past few days, a new icon "Internet
Connection" appeared under a new heading "Internet Gateway" in Network
Connections. I am unable to delete it or even to disable it. I
really doubt that I need this because my machine worked fine without
it for months and I haven't made any changes recently except for
changing IP addresses (which I do several times a week to access
various networks).
What would cause the Internet Gateway/Internet Connection icon to
suddenly show up in Network Connections?
Since ICS is disabled in the advanced tab of both adapters, why is the
status of Internet Connection Enabled and Connected with activity
stats displaying increasing packet counts?
