You can't remove the Personal gateway from the list today - it'll keep showing as offline even though you uninstalled it. I can see how this is confusing, we're looking into making it a better exprience.
Thanks!

    Thanks Dimah.  There are 2 other issues however.

     

    1.  I wasn't able to install a Personal Gateway on a new machine and have it appear in the service.  In otherwords, it seems there is no way to move the personal gateway.

    2.  I have now installed the Enterprise Gateway, but it only appears for one of my workgroups.

     

    Any ideas about these things?

        I have added a single data source to my nsw PC to point to SQL Server.  This is working fine for 1 of the workgroups but it is not visilbe for the second workgroup.  My understanding is that I only need a single connection for all datasets in my environment.  Is that correct?
