An Internet Gateway is used when you have a group of networked computers that all draw their Internet connection from one computer. In this case the computer connecting creates a Gateway for the others to connect through.

An internet gateway, is what it says, a gateway to the interent.
It is where you pc looks for access to the internet.
This will usually be expressed as an ip address, usually your router will act as an internet gateway for your pc.

My DSL modem is my internet gateway.
From Wiki: Internet Gateway Device (IGD) protocol is embedded in some Internet routers. It makes it possible for applications to automatically configure network address translation (NAT) routing.

A machine connected to two networks and through which traffic passes between them. e.g. a router that allows machines on a LAN to connect to machines on the Internet.

Its used on a router to allow multiple computers to share one internet connection. If you only have one computer don't worry, it just means that you could add more computers to share your connection.
