Disable the Internet Gateway, and then delete it. Then make sure all
your computers are configured for DHCP, and reboot them.

If you use static IP instead of DHCP, make sure that (1) subnet mask,
(2) gateway, and (3) are set correctly. The best way to get the correct
values is to use DHCP, and then set those values manually.

If you have a router, you cannot possibly need ICS. Prolly if you do a
reboot of everything it will 'come right'.

Disable uPNP on your network, and hte offending object will vanish.
Your router happens to support uPNP, and so Windoze is automatically
doing something useless with it. Turn that off, its just a security
nightmare anyway.
