| Guest | Network icon in system tray inaccurately says it's not connected to network I'm using Vista Home Premium and Windows Update tells me I'm up to date. Every so often the Network icon in the System Tray tells me that it is not connected to a Network (by displaying a red X) though I can clearly see that I am. Glitch, common problem ... suggestions? Thanks, DH |

Thanks, DH This happens sometimes. Usually a logoff and logon or restart will clear it up. Check to make sure that you have these services set this way. They help the Network icon know when you are connected or not. 1. Network Connections - Started - Manual 2. Network List Service - Started - Automatic 3. Network Location Awareness - Started - Automatic 4. Network Sore Interface Service - Started - Automatic Shawn |
