Help me to remove ICS and Internet Connection

[Guest]

Help.

I have recently set up ICS to share a dialup internet conmnection over a
wired (ethernet) and wireless network while I switched ADSL providers. Now
that I have adsl back - I fear that ICS has persisted in my XP PC's and I
can't seem to get rid of it.

Specifically, there's now a connection called "Internet Connection" and it
appears under show all connections, Internet Gateway section, as well as on
the system tray as two PC's when connected. If I expand the system tray icon,
it shows Internet Connection status, along with stats of sent and received
bits, as well as a properties and disable button. I can only think that this
was created when I installed/started using ICS.

I have disabled the ICS service and it no longer starts up, but this
Internet Connection thing just won't go away.

What is it and how do I get rid of it ?????

The Internet Gateway is normal and doesn't indicate a problem.
There's no need to get rid of it.

It represents the device on your network that provides a shared
Internet connection. When ICS was running, it represented the ICS
host computer. Now, it represents the broadband router on your
network, letting you monitor and control the router's operation.

If you don't want the Internet Gateway to appear, access your router's
setup web page and disable it. It might be called UPnP (Universal
Plug and Play).
