Red 'X' on computer icon?
[Forwarded to Vista Networking newsgroup via crosspost]
Phil wrote: Hi, I connect to the internet with a dial up connection. Starting yesterday when I connect to the internet the network computer icon in the task bar has the red X on it. If I put the mouse on the icon it states not connected, but I am connected. If I right click on the icon and try to connect the connect window comes up with only a disconnect option. Can someone tell me what's going on and how to fix the problem? I'm running Vista Home Premium and IE 7. Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Yes, I do have a wireless adapter, but it doesn't matter if it is turned on or off the red X is still there. Also, where I live there is no wireless to even close to me.
