what kind of modem/router are you using? Does the modem/router have itself set to "plug-and-play"? The Internet Gateway that you are talking about is usually because of this. do you have the modem/router connected with USB or Ethernet? (hint: try to never use USB if you can help it.. much slower than Ethernet by design) Let me know how it goes.
