**Gateway**
1. When referring to a network, a gateway is an address used as an entry point into another network. For example: 166.70.10.1 could be used as a gateway. It is common for .1 and .2 to be setup as a network's gateway. The gateway is commonly the address of a network device such as a network router.
2. Gateway is also a U.S. computer company. See our Gateway company information page for additional information about this company.

**Glass house**
A name given to the rooms often found in large corporations that contain the main networking equipment, servers, and/or mainframes that run the corporation's infrastructure. The name glass house is given to these rooms because they are almost always an isolated room with glass windows that enable people to gaze into the room without disrupting anything and to help cut down the noise generated by the equipment.

**GroupWare**
Type of software program that allows a group of individuals on a network to use the same software and/or work on the same project at the same time. A good example of a GroupWare program is Lotus Notes. This program allows users to exchange e-mail, share documents and work on the same documents at the same time.

**Guest**
1. An account that enables a user to gain very limited access to a computer. Although some computer operating systems will have a default guest account setup after their installation, many times this account will commonly have to be setup manually by the administrator before it can be accessed.
Unless you plan on having unauthorized users on your computer or network, it is recommended that the guest accounts be disabled on the computer to help prevent potential security issues. This account / username is commonly one of the first accounts a potential hacker may try if he or she is unable to gain access with a higher account.
* Information about disabling the guest account in Windows can be found on document CH001095.
2. Users visiting Computer Hope who are not registered on the Computer Hope forum are considered guests. If you do not wish to be identified as a Guest in the Computer Hope chat either create a free account on the forum and/or register with the IRC nickserv and identify when logging into the chat.
