I've asked this question before but it's been a VERY long time since I did and I've never gotten any answers. Maybe I'll have more luck this time around. Ok, here goes.....
I have XP Home installed on my main machine. I have 2 "services" running in my networking. I have an Internet Gateway and a LAN connection. The problem is that the machine shouldn't be the gateway. I have my home network running through a Linkysys router for my cable connection. I have seen other machines that run internet just fine with only the LAN connection setup in the networking section of XP. The only "gateway" that I should have should be the router BUT the Internet Gateway "service" on this computer wants to dominate. If I disable that, I have no internet access on any computer on my network. I don't have DHCP enabled in the router because I wanted to keep a static IP for my LAN. This is not a huge deal as long as everything works but I'm curious as to what I'm doing wrong and if anybody knows how to fix it. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to put this in Tech Support as well but I thought I might have more luck putting it in two places instead of one.(I already have it in the Networking forum)
