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

Might be some weird glitch. I've had that happen, too. Was fine on a
reboot.

Same thing happened to me this morning when I booted up my machine. It could
not see our wireless network. I merely rebooted and it found it the second
time through.

I thank you for the suggestions. At the moment, I have no Network icon even
though I am connected.

I have the Network icon is always Display ... and now it is on my screen.
This is just gitchy behavior ... and rather than spend more time on this,
I'm just reporting this. Perhaps the good folks at MS can use a high
pressure hose to clean out these bugs. DH, Vista Home Premium and it;s up
to date.

Restack your TCP/IP

1. Click Start. Click Run. Type cmd. Click OK.
2. On the C:/> prompt, type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt".
3. Press the Enter key.
4. Restart the computer.

Note: If you're not in root, type "cd /" (without the quotation marks,) followed by the enter key to get to root.

have the same problem, finally found the Microsoft explanation (see
link). I did rip a cd on the media player before the problem occurred.
no solution yet.

""Workaround: To work around this problem, you can safely ignore the
red "X" over the connection icon that indicates that the network
adapter is disconnected. The connection status is updated correctly
even when the connection icon incorrectly displays a red "X." ""

LOL.
