removing 'internet gateway' in network connections.

[Guest Erwin Moller]

Hi group,

 

A few weeks back we had an ADSL outage.

I setted up a temporarely wireless connection and shared it with others

in the office.

 

Now our ADSL is up again, but I cannot get rid of the this connection.

I just want to use my good old Lan direct connection to the gateway.

But I cannot remove the 'internet gateway'/'internet connection'.

 

AT the moment I have 3 other connections listed under "Wireless or high

speed Internet":

1) Wireless connection (which is disabled)

2) Local Area Network (enabled)

3) 1394 connection (disabled)

 

I check all three above via properties and made sure (under Advacnced

tab) that the checkbox is NOT checked.

Checkbox reads: "Allow other network users to connect through this

computer's Internet connection."

 

How can I get back to my old situation and remove this connection sharing?

-> rightmouse menu gives 'remove' but it is grayed out.

 

 

Regards,

Erwin Moller

Hi,

 

A little additional info:

- I run XP prof. SP3.

- If I disable my normal LAN connection, the connection sharing

disappears. It stays away after enabling the LAN connection.

- After a reboot it is always back.

 

So I expect it must be something that gets activated at startup.

I couldn't find anything I recognize in startup or registry

(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run)

 

Thanks for your time.

See if this helps.

 

Open your Network Connections folder.

In the bar on the left hand side of the window, click on My Network Places.

In the My Network Places folder, click on "Hide icons for networked UPnP

devices" under Network Tasks.

Click on the Yes button when asked if you want to continue.

Close My Network Places.

After a short time the Internet Connection icon should disappear.

 

If that doesn't fix the problem, you might want to post your question to this

newsgroup,

 

microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web

 

Good luck

I only see a singlepaned window, no lefthand side available here.

 

And I can't find anywhere 'My Network Places'.

I think I used to have an icon on my desktop named that way, but that is

gone too. ???
