    Hello Suzanne,

    You may have a Service for the Network icon that is not started or disabled causing it to not report the network connection accurately. Check these services to see they are set as Started and what is next to the service below. These are the default settings.
    • Network Connections - Manual
    • Network List Service - Automatic
    • Network Location Awareness - Automatic
    • Network Store Interface Service - Automatic
    Services

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    Suzanne,

    Can you post a screenshot of your other network issue below? It may be related with this.

    Thank you,

    Suzanne,

    This will show you how to get a screenshot if needed. If you are just not able to at all, then you might do the repair option below.

    You might consider doing a Repair (Upgrade) install to fix the problems.

    I have Vista Home Basic, so the snipping tool won't work. I think the repair may be risky?

    Re: Not connected, but I am?

    Have you already tried restarting the computer to see if that may reset it?

    I'm afraid that I do not know what else to suggest for this.

    To get a screen capture:
    1. use print screen button
    2. paste into MS Paint
    3. save as .jpeg
    4. upload to flickr or similar and link to your thread/post.
