I am new to WL.500gx, and this is my first post on this forum.
I have a question.
When i first connected router to my desktop (WIN XP pro ) a new icon (in Internet connection windows) was created.
Its the same icon like ICS GATEWAY INTERNET (to monitor connection sharing). Anyone knows how to configure router WL500gx - to disable (or hide) this icon on a client computers. I dont want ability to shut down router from client computer.

I am running firmware 1.9.2.7-6c-pre5

Thank you MaTpockuH for your help.

yes it's really UPnP feature. I found project :

"http://linux-igd.sourceforge.net/"
implementing UPnP Internet Gateway Device specification.

Its very interesting. I wondering is it any way to utilise great features of UPnP - excluding ability to shutdown router. I don't like this, because I don't know how to remote restart router.

As i know, it's very useful (for example to open router's ports for emule) but works only in WindowsXP. I don't use this feature because of: 1) I dont know how to do this 2) I think it's useless and it may cause security ploblems
