The Network icon in the system tray has a red X on it suggesting the Network is not connected but it is connected. Both my sons are connected to the internet just as I am on my PC and my BluRay player. Usually and for the last 6 years it has a little blue disc showing that both the Internet and the Network is connected. I use it constantly to see if I can connect to the Internet. Now it has a red X against it!
I have tried lots of things over the last 7 hrs to try and fix it but nothing works and on occasion, when in the Network and Sharing Centre, the whole computer is frozen so that the only solution is to switch it off and on and start again!
In the Network and Sharing Centre it shows that it is Unknown that the Network Discovery is Off but when I go to try and change it it will not allow any change. Then it can freeze and nothing can be done at all. I assume that Network Discovery should be On?
In another instance it was saying that another programme was stopping any changes being made.
Can anyone shine any light on this problem please?
