I'm using Vista Business SP1. My network icon indicates that the network is
either disabled or disconnected. I've read Knowledge base 928896 - I have checked that I am not logging in using the Guest account (it is disabled). I am logging in using the admin account. The network is in fact working. How can get the network icon to report accurately? |

Posting the result of ipconfig here may help.

Hi
It looks like you have Wire and Wireless Network card. The Wireless looks like it working, the wire disconnected. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking). "Allan TFF" wrote in message ...

Can I assume the "network icon indicates that the network is either disabled
or disconnected" because the wired NIC doesn't connect to the network, but you are using wireless? -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Allan TFF" wrote in message ...

I had the same Problem but with a wired connection. I disabled then renabled
and everything seems to be working now. Why would this problem occur? Thanks for the help. ![]() "+Bob+" wrote: On Tue, 21 Oct 2008 10:56:23 -0700, Allan TFF wrote: Yes, I am connect wirelessly to an Adsl router. If it's the icon for the hard wired connection and you only use the wireless, you can disable it. Right click on the icon Choose Network adn Sharing Center click Manage Network Connections (upper left) Right click on Local Area Connection (NOT your wireless connection) choose Disable from the right click menu You will need to re-enable it if you decide to use the hardwired connection some time. |
