internet. i have run a virus scan using symantec's
internet security 2004 with all updates as of february

manufactured by a local store. i have an amd 2100+

The Internet Gateway is your Linksys router. When you de-activate the
gateway, you're telling the Linksys router to disconnect itself from
the Internet, which why you can't access the Internet after doing it.

If you don't want to see the Internet Gateway icon on your computer,
consult the router documentation to find out how to configure your
router not to create the icon. On some routers, that's done by
disabling "Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)".
