"Internet gateway" - NOT a TYPING error! Is this a known Ms error?

I connect to a wireless router, and I do not share my connection with someone else. I have a Verizon FIOS fiber internet service. After some installation of their programs running, I noticed an icon (with two computers) that appear in my taskbar, which says "Internet gateway" If hovered you over it. Sometimes he would show 'connected', but most of the time he would show "disconnected" (if she showed at all).

Lately, he has been showing much and appearing as "connected." My performance has also suffered, I decided to look more closely at this "Internet gateway". I tried to click 'disconnect', but she would not obey. When I clicked on 'Status', a box appears showing 'Internet' (globe), 'My Computer' and "Internet Gateway" (again, no misspelling.)

I wouldn't spend Microsoft leave a misspelling as this sucked into production (and never fix it with Service Packs or updates), but'd me also suspect that someone had created a piece of malware which resembled the Internet gateway, but who did bad things and resisted to disabled. Can someone confirm for me if it is a legitimate spelling of Microsoft error or if I should indeed suspect this process as a malware?

Thank you

1. you would be better to start a new thread... the fact that it is marked as 'Responded' will keep a lot of people see things.

Uh, duhhh... What is the right way for me to do that? Do I have to ask the question again and just include a link to this post?

Yes, this is the way to do

2 re your post last Sunday where reference you the site practically networked - I'm not sure of the spelling, but if you see "Internet gateway" in network connections, it's just your router via UPnP, Microsoft.

If you have a compatible router UPnP - and most are these days - and you enable UPnP in router configuration (often) utility, and you have enabled UPnP user interface, you get the "Internet gateway" icon in network connections.  You can use the icon to configure the router without using the web interface of the router.

I don't think I have UPnP enabled for this connection. I don't see the Internet gateway in network connections. only in the system tray.

Thanks for your help and advice, PML!

Even if you don't think you have UPnP turned on, you can be certain that it is not.  When Microsoft first introduced UPnP, several people a bit paranoid (including the FBI) said that it should be disabled on each machine.  Steve Gibson, which some might say takes such things a bit too strongly, apparently still accepts 10 years later, and has a simple utility to turn UPnP: http://www.grc.com/unpnp/unpnp.htm

    If you get the 404 error, then your server is not able to communicate with the page you have requested. This could be caused by malicious software on your computer. It is also possible that there is a problem with your server or with Google in your area. Let's first eliminate the possibility of malware. Download, install, update and perform a quick analysis with Malwarebytes.org . In addition, is the computer that you are referencing the only computer on your network? If not, are you able to access Google using these computers? How long the problem has persisted?

  • Why do I get connection timeout errors when downloading FTP when internet does not work?

    I tried to update my site for a few days now, but I get the same errors. I'm not a particular web-savvy person, but the first time that I transferred my site after I built it I don't remember all such problems.

    It starts when I try to submit my log in credentials. The info will be correct, but he'll say, I got a connection error and exceeded it, check your username and password again. But my internet is also not have connectivity issues. This only happens to half the time and usually resolves by clicking on "Try Again" or said whatever the button continue.

    After that, it comes to this window:

    museerror4.PNG

    Now my question is maybe here. Some tutorials told me that I don't have to put anything in the box "Folder on the server", Adobe shows that my host should give me this info, but as far I can tell that it is empty, or just has a ' / ' provided for in this article. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

    Sometimes when I click ok it goes to the progress bar window. Sometimes it gives me this instead:

    museerror5.PNG

    Then I click ok, sometimes it goes to the progress window after that. But sometimes it gives me this:

    museerror6.PNG

    Then I click Try Again and it goes to the progress window. Then need me here, as it should:

    museerror2.PNG

    And finally, I get here, and this is where I'm stuck:

    museerror1.PNG

    Sometimes, the error message looks like this:

    museerror7.PNG

    I can press summary and trying it again, but then the same error keeps coming back. Googling brought up any messages with a similar problem. If it is really only a problem of internet connectivity, well, I feel really stupid but also at my wit's end because my internet seems to be working very well and I don't know what I could do about it. If it has something to do with 'Folder on the server' box maybe someone can enlighten me on what should be there. I wondered if take down the Web site and starting over, download it again, could work because she has no problems, the first time that I put it to the top of back in June, but I am currently applying to places and I want that my portfolio upward where potential employers are looking.

    If anyone can help me would be great. If this proves to be a problem on part of my host, I'll take my questions and my comments here instead.

    Thank you!

    Are you still facing the same issue? This concerns majorly network problem or probably a problem on server side, have you tried to contact your webhost?

    Thank you
