Gateway? Whats this

[Jimmy]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hi I just noticed yesterday that this gateway thing was in internet
connections. I disabled my internet connection to see if it would go away
when I re-enabled it. Anyway, when I re-enabled it, I couldn't use the
internet. I don't mind having this gateway thing there, but I don't want it
there. Can anyone help me?

The Internet Gateway represents an Internet sharing device elsewhere
on your network, such as a broadband router or a computer running
Internet Connection Sharing. You can disable it on the router or the
ICS host.

Gateway is your door to internet.
Whenever you see a gateway address listed it means that any request you
place to a network outside like Internet this will be passed through this
address.

So it is important for a PC to access internet.

Sorry if I am mistaken. But don't we need a gateway address if he is primarly
using a Cable/DSL router to connect to internet.

All Internet connections need a default gateway address: the address
of an Internet-connected router to which your computer sends packets
addressed to servers (WWW, E-mail, etc) on the Internet. You can see
the default gateway address by right-clicking XP's Internet connection
and clicking Status | Support.

I think that Jimmy's asking about something different: an "Internet
Gateway" connection that appears in the Network Connections folder.
