Internet Gateway?

[Anna Mantica]

I have a machine in one of my offices that all of a sudden
is listing an Internet Gateway to someone elses computer.

It says

Internet Gateway
Wireless Connection on COMPUTERNAME

I can't delete it. It is disabled, but I want to know how
it got there and how I can get rid of it.

Thanks.

That indicates that:

1. Your computer is configured to obtain an IP address automatically,
and:

2. There's a computer named COMPUTERNAME on the network that has ICS
(Internet Connection Sharing) enabled. The shared connection on that
computer is named "Wireless Connection".

The ICS host computer should have an IP address of 192.168.0.1 on its
LAN connection.
