how can I remove the Internet Gateway connection ?

[Gabi]

I have upgraded a window 2000 to XP, with an http server.
This machine connects thru a router to the internet.

However I can't access the http server from outside my
LAN (i.e. from the internet), while it works perfectly ok
inside my home LAN.

I noticed that in the Netwrok Connection folder that my
LAN connections is not connected to the router directly
but thru an "Internet Gateway" I have no idea from where
this comes, I assume this is the problem for my http
server. Any ideas how to delete it ?

Thanks

you may need open the port 80 for web access.

If you have administrator rights, you should be able to
delete any of the network connections. You can then use
the Wizard to re-create a proper connection.

While right-clicking on a connection shows the 'delete'
option grayed out, you can highlight the connection and
hit the delete key, and the system should prompt you if
you are sure you want to delete the connection.
Confirm 'yes' and it should be gone.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Jack

The Internet Gateway icon represents your router and is most likely not your
problem. See the above post about opening port 80.

Thanks for the suggestions, but the Internet Gateway (IG)
is not the router, I'm pretty sure, it has no details of
a machine. Moreover I have another XP in the LAN and it
doesn't show the router or this IG.

Also what do you mean enable port 80 ? where ?

When I try to add a service to the IG I get an error, and
it doesn;t add it.

I have a similar situation. I have three PCs running off
a D-Link Router. 2 of them have the Internet Gateway in
their Network Connection list, but one doesn't. yet they
all seem to run 100% fine. So why do two of them have it
but the other one not??
The two that have it have constant LAN traffic flowing to
that Internet Gateway, at about 2.8KBs. The other PC is
dead quiet when not being used. Which makes me wonder
WHAT created the two with the Internet Gateways!!??

I'm pretty confident that the IG is representing your router. Probably the
one XP machine that doesn't show the IG is running a firewall.

The IG would be the right place to add the port 80 mapping but you say it's
not working.

Most routers offer a native interface to add port mappings. Have a look at
the documentation for your router.
