Network Places:Internet Gateway ICON

I have this in my Network Places properties.

How do I make it go away.  Why do I need this gateway?  Don't have use the one that I assign in my network card?

99% of the XP systems out there I have setup does not have this Internet Gateway icon in their Network Places.

Very confused.

i your have a router windows may be seeing it as an internet gateway, even if you don't use it two conect to the net. it can shut off on most router throuw the WAN menu in the router menu. this  woulden't interfer with the internet so there is not much point to shuting it off. there is also a seting in the nic propertys that can do this, but if this system was just setup its probly a router
