Windows Vista
Connection to Internet is via wireless router



When connected to the internet, for the last six months I always used to get
a small globe over the network icon in system tray. All of a sudden the globe
is gone. The network icon status is 'access:local only'
In network and sharing centre my internet connection has a red cross
However I AM connected to the internet
So far this is just an inconvenience and I'm not aware that this has
affected anything else or stopped anything from running. Microsoft auto
update ran normally!
Does anyone have any idea where the globe goes and how I can get it back?
Why would vista think I'm not connected to the internet when I actually am?
I have two computers, diferent wireless cards, both running vista, both
connected to the same wireless router, and both with exactly the same
problem, but the problem did not appear at the same time!

Seeing a similar issue -- happens at random but the globe icon disappears and network center shows an X through the internet connection despite the fact that Internet is working fine.

I, too have the same issue, running Vista Home Premium on a VMware
Fusion Virtual Machine (on MACBook Pro). Have contacted Microsoft,
without any realistic approach to resolving the issue. They recommended
establishing another User Profile, but I cannot reason how a user
profile would impact this icon, which is simply inconsistent in
appearance, and am unwilling to go through the exercise. I can access
the Internet with or without the globe apparent. Just another in the
endless list of "Windows Issues" and inconsistencies. If anyone
resolves it, please post.
