2 Local Area Connection showing

[Helob]

Hello.

I just bought and installed/configured a D-Link ADSL Router DSL-504T
with 2 PCs connected to the router's ports (toatal 4). I have no
problem accessing the internet (ADSL) as well as sharing files and
folders betwwen the 2 PCs.
However I am seeing 2 Local Area Connection (LAC) showing up in
Network Connections property and only one in the other.

Computer LAC Name Device Name
A 1 Internet Gateway Internet connection
2 LAN or High-speed Internet D-Link
DFE-535TX 10/100 Adapter

B 1 LAN or High-Speed Internet D-Link
DFE-535TX 10/100 Adapter


Questions:
1. What is function of the Internet Gateway on Local Area Connection?
Why is it showing in Computer A & not B?
2. Can it be deleted? It can not be disabled from dounled click the
icon in system tray.
3. If required, how I do get the Internet Gateway connection on
Computer B?

SOME SPECS:

COMPUTER A
Desktop Windows XP (professional) SP2 installed
Pentium 3 CPU 600MHz
512MB RAM


COMPUTER B
Desktop Windows XP (professional) SP2 installed
Pentium 4 Processor 3.0MHz, 1.00GB RAM


THANK YOU!!!
