you have the answer as router, but i was under the impression that gateways were used to connect LANs with different protocols or architectures.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

i was under the impression that gateways were used to connect LANs with different protocols or architectures.

That is what a gateway does, and that is exactly what I mentioned in the TechNotes (Network Components section) as well. And I included some examples also:

A gateway could be used to allow IPX/SPX clients to use a gateway with a TCP/IP uplink to an internet connection. TCP/IP would be converted to IPX/SPX. Another common use of a gateway is to connect an Ethernet network to an IBM SNA mainframe environment.

However, a router can be used to connect different network types, as I also wrote in that same section:

Common use of routers is to connect two different type of networks (for example Ethernet and Token ring) or to interconnect LANs into a WAN.

I hope this clears it up. Here are some other topics about the subject:
