Why apear internet gateways in network connections

In Windows XP, I click on network connections and internet gateway is sometimes there and sometimes not.  Why is this?

Thanks for any help.

Jack

This can occur if you do not have your own point of access to the House, but connects directly to the front door of your ISP.

My ISP were some gateways that I see, but others which shows nothing. And as they change what bridge I use, an Internet gateway sometimes appears in my network connections.

  • Why is it so my network connection icon appear in the status bar in Win XP (anthing until 2 minutes)?

    At startup, sometimes the network connection icon in my taskbar pretty quickly (30 seconds). It takes about 2 months and then suddenly the icon will take whatever it is 2 minutes to appear for a month or two, and then it will return to normal.

    Can you tell me why this should be?   And I can do to stop what is happening?  It is VERY frustrating!

    HI Johnboy1935,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Help with major security problem if you please. Internet gateway?

    Hello

    After a few weeks of scratches all about untangle sceurity perceived a few questions with email etc. - yesterday I belive I discovered a big problem and need some help please.

    I hope that I write from own machine because I believe that desktop home computers are compromised.

    Main PC is running XP and has a connection via a cable ethernet via a bt Home Hub2.

    Yetsrday while watching my network connections I noticed something called "Internet GATEWAY" above my LAN icon.

    It showed that I had been connected for over 2 days (a little more than 2 hours for the LAN) even when the PC off and was send/receive many packages and seemed much faster than my LAN. problem: I click on this & it won't let me log out or see properties / settings - I get a warning about 'connection is currently unavailable '... I really worry that it is someone else on my PC - is this right? How can I fix it? and it is a matter for the Police.? I'm really worried. Other symptoms, I noticed - my windows log on 'his' dissapraed a & in the event Manager-, there is no security - only since 2006 newspaper.  Very slow PC. Running SuperAntispyware - no problem after removing a Security Center option turn off a few days ago.  Really gratfeul l to help guys. Am at my wits end. Very garteful using anyones.  I guess that my internet connection and PC was hacked/compromised.

    To be clear, you remove all networking services, but just the part that detects and controls "gateways" as your router.  This removes the "Internet gateway" of network connections icon, but should not do something else.

    If a right click or double click on the "Internet gateway" just produced a message "connection is busy", which makes me think that something is not configured correctly - either the router (bt Home Hub) has turned off UPnP (or does not really support) or the UPnP in network services service is not installed, or something else.

    I don't think that someone else is controlling your connection, but as I said, the other symptoms you describe indicate a malware problem continues and you need to take steps to ensure that your machine is free from malware.

  • "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!

    G

    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

  • Why are these networks 0033, livedoor-web, mobilepoint shows on my wireless network connection

    Why are these networks 0033, livedoor-web, mobilepoint shows on my wireless network connection? At Microsoft this downloaded without my knowledge in my laptop in the network connection and the internet? Are these safe to use and that they cause to slow down the internet connection?

    Your wireless network card is just a receiver (transmitter).  As for a 'normal' radio on which you are listening to music, news, sports, etc., your wireless network card will 'listen' to any nearby wireless network and provide you with a list of these networks:

    Wireless networks that do not require a security password appear with the icon of the shield, as the "linksys" network in the figure above.

    In general, you should only connect to networks that you know are secure: your own, networks that you know the password, or maybe a public network such as those provided by restaurants and other commercial establishments.

    None of the networks that list you are likely to be public networks.  You will not be able to connect (because you do not know the password) or you should not connect because they might be dangerous.

  • Problems connecting to the internet using the wireless network connection

    I can't connect to the internet using my wireless network connection. I had made the diagnosis and he stated that "the DHCP is not enabled for the wireless network connection. I had checked the DHCP, but it has been activated!... Someone would give any suggestion for me to solve the problem?

    Open the run command box by pressing Windows key + R, type services.msc and press enter . Search The Client DHCP and check if it is enabled or disabled. If disabled then turn it on and see if the problem still persists or not.

    Open the run command box by pressing Windows key + R, type cmd , and press enter . At the command prompt, type ipconfig/all and press ENTER. Now, check the IP address, default gateway, DNS etc. If you find all the information is correct, but you cannot yet access the Internet so if you connect the wireless network is secure or not. To determine the glance to the wireless network icon in the taskbar, then click on it. It will show you the available wireless networks. If there is a "yellow shield" present on the network icon, the network is not guaranteed, if there is no "yellow shield" does while the network is secure. In a secure network, you might have a "network security key. In this case try to disable the 'Network security key' option for this network. To do this:

    Open Control Panel , click network and Internet , click network and sharing Center , click manage wireless networks on the left.

    In the list select the wireless network and do a right click, select Properties, Security disable tab all options that is, in security type do not select no authentication (Open) and to the type of encryption , select none . You can also activate the automatic connection and SSID settings to further enhance connectivity, on the connection tab, click to select the "connect automatically if this network is in range " and "check boxesto connect even if the network is broadcasting his name (SSID) .

    For more information click here and see how you can determine whether a network is secure or not.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-know-if-a-wireless-network-is-secure

    If the problem still persists, then check your firewall settings and make sure that the firewall is not blocking your Internet connection. Some software Antivirus has a built-in firewall and they block by default all unknown connection to the tightening of security.

    Try to restore Windows Firewall default settings. Open Control Panel click on network and Internet , click system and security , click Windows Firewall , click default settings .

    Hope this will help. Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all, you need to know if the wireless network adapter is installed on your laptop or not.
    Also check device manager if the Wlan card driver is installed correctly.
    Then you must configure your WLan router.
    In this case, you should check your manual for the router WLan configuration of this device.

    If you want to connect to the laptop to the router WLan so you must enable the wireless network adapter. Usually the WLan switch on the side of the laptop must be turned on (LIT)
    Then, you go to the WLan antenna with the FN + F8 key combination.

    If everything is on then you should go to network connections, it you have available WLan network properties. Go to wireless networks and select view wireless networks button. You should see your WLan.

    If you have set up the WLan encryption on the router, then you must first set the password to connect to the WLan.
