Hi group,

(I asked this question in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general and was
advise to try my luck in this 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'.

I have no troubles or anything (and all my networkfunctionality is up
and running fine) but I prefer to have as little connections as possible
to worry about. ;-)

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.

A little additional info:
- I run XP prof. SP3.
- I have Windows Firewall disabled (In favor of McAfee firewall)
- 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.

Regards,
Erwin Moller
