Topic awaiting preservation: "Internet Gateway UnConfigured"

A new icon popped up on my taskbar today (Win '98). Running the mouse over it displays the message "Internet Gateway UnConfigured". I cannot right or left-click on this icon, which is frustrating. Running PrcView doesn't show me anything new residing in memory (that I recognize, and as far as I know I haven't installed anything or downloaded anything today, so I'm a bit at a loss on this. Obviously, I'm still connected to the net (via cable modem). I've run a virus scan and Adaware. Neither picked up on anything.

Now my wife's computer and mine are connected via a hub. Maybe she's done something funky on her system (although when I ask she doesn't recall doing anything weird to her computer). But if so, I'm not sure what she could have done which would affect my system like that.

Anyone got any ideas?

A search in MS site brought the link below but I guess it's not related to your problem because it has to do with WinME: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b315035

Sorry, we offer support for Win98 anymore..

Petskull..i wouldnt go dissing Win98 that fast......
it can still perform some kewl stuff

I thought we censored the word "kewl."

I think it was uncensored for some obscure reason or another...

PK is obviously joking.
I've noticed that to become a MadSci one of the conditions here (a hidden condition) is still to be using Win98(SE) as your primary OS.

kewl was uncensored because maninacan had a site called kewlster.com and the censoring caused all sorts of bother - I wonder if it really should have been a sign not to use the word kewl ever but...........

viol: Damn right - I use the Win98 (SE) CD as my primary coaster
