RE: Network and Sharing Center shows "x" for connection

Tonyo, the issue is not if they have a network connection, but the system
showing false information. A red "X" on the internet connection when there
is a solid connection. I have 4 systems on Vista and it happens on only one
system. The settings are the same, I do have a connection and it will not
change. When I click on the "X" it trys to diagnose the issue then states
there is no issue but does not remove the "X". It is an annoyance.
