I have to connections in my network connections. Local
Area Connection and a Internet gateway connection. I just
reformatted. The Internet Gateway connection was never
there before that. It is killin my dsl speed, downloads
at less that 2kbs. How do I get rid of the Gateway
connection??? The gateway connection is for iternet
sharing that I have figured out. But I have router and
did not ever have this connection before this particular
reinstall of windows XP Home. And yes I have had the
router for a long time its nothin new. Is there a
solution?

I'm sorry, but I don't know what's causing the slow dsl speed, Dwight.
However, I don't think that the Internet Gateway has anything to do
with it. The Internet Gateway connection represents your router.
Clicking it lets you monitor and control the router's operation.

Either of these actions can cause the Internet Gateway to suddenly
appear:

1. Upgrading the router's firmware. That could also cause the
slowdown that you've seen.

2. Running XP's Network Setup Wizard, which installs the software that
detects the router's Internet Gateway.

Make sure that you are not showing the icon for the Internet Gateway in the
notifications area as that could affect your speed.
