HI, I have just installed a wireless ADSL Modem Router so that I can run 2 computers at the same time whilst connected to the internet. My wifes computer was downloading pages really slow whilst mine was fine. When I looked at the internet connections the was a "Internet Gateway" symbol sitting between "Activity Internet" and "My Computer". I disabled this and her computer then was back to normal and running faster. What is this Internet Gateway and is it okay to have it disabled? Kind Regards.

Here is a cool dictionary of computer and internet terminology:

Takes a long time to load at 56k. Find the word gateway.
I save that web page to my harddrive for reference.

It sounds like your wifes machine some how got setup with ICS [interent connection sharing]. Since she doesn't need it it was OK to turn it off [shouldn't have been on in the first place with your router setup]
