Internet Gateway Can't Access The Internet FIXED


So your trying to run Windows and you can't access the internet, you found an Internet Gateway icon in your network control panel like this image


and when you right click to enable it, it says failed, and what ever you do you can't enable Internet Gateway? or access the internet?

This is down to Universal Plug & Play, a  UPnP setting in your router and you have two basic options.

The easiest solution is to just run UnPlug n' Pray  on the system with the Internet Gateway issue. This can be run again at any time to re-enable UPnP , so its a great tool,  Works on 98 upto XP and also supports WINFLP   :)

Get  UPnP stand alone tool from  Gibson Research Here
doesn't even need .net  :)

Remember GRC made "shoot the messenger" ' "Socketlock" and the legendary shields up online port and firewall tester. A well established and trusted source.

Your alternative solution is to log into your router and disable UPnP (this will vary by model)  so might be easier to google

How do i disabled UPnP on Router Name

Remember using the UnPlug n' Pray option only changes UPnP on the one machine, it has absolutely no interaction with your router or your homes internet connection (only changes the machine its run on)

This is also a great Windows Fundamentals No Internet Fix
