How remove Gateway?

For no good reason I configured an Internet Gateway under
WinXP wrongly supposing it would help reconfigure the
connection (first by wireless to another router in the building,
thence by wireless modem to the Internet.) It obviously
does not help and I do not need it -- but I cannot remove this
Internet Gateway which reports itself active all the time
but disallows email and browser traffic. What to do?

I am not sure I understand the issue. How did you configure the Internet
gateway? Using route command? If yes,, you should use router delete command
to delete the route.

Hi
Unless you describe specifically what you did it is hard to give advice.
Otherwise, take out the network cards and boot one time without them.
That would clean the Network system.
Switch Off insert the cards and reboot you would get a clean Network startup
and can reconfigure to your special needs.

Clarification (sorry I was unclear
Upstairs WinXP PC is connected via wireless card to
downstairs Win98PC which has
wireless router (connecting with upstairs) and
wireless modem (to Internet: no cable here.)

First implementation worked OK Nov. 2007 until last month
when the power supply failed in the downstairs PC requiring
reinstallation of the Win98SE OS. (Meanwhile the router
and wireless modem still connected the upstairs WinXP to
the Internet.) Troubles appeared only after reinstallation of
Win98 downstairs.

I could then (a) restore OK the wireless network linking upstairs
and downstairs PCs but (b) not Internet access i.e. neither PC
could connect to Internet via wireless modem as formerly.

Then I noticed on WinXP Networks menu "Internet Gateway" and thought that
might help. It did not and I removed this from the XP PC -- only to find an
"Internet Gateway" had installed itself on the downstairs Win98 PC, that
tended to hang the system -- notably its Disable button appeared not to
work i.e. Systray Icon remained present signalling "Gateway active."

(The home wireless network has also changed to one-way.
The upstairs XP sees all downstairs Win98 drives as normal:
but the upstairs XP has vanished from the downstairs Network Neighborhood.)

The only system files that include string "gateway" are
HNWCLI.INF and LCSDCLLT.DLL, both dated 2001 (while most
Win98SE files are dated no later than 1999: but these might have
come from the year 2004 Security & Upgrade Disk for Win98.)
The Win98 system appears unstable with the Internet Gateway
loaded, and I do not know how to remove this.
