Red "X" on network connections icon

[Mellowed]

I would love to Gene. Unfortunately my 200 acres is in the boondocks.
No cable available. Satellite is the only option to dialup.

I'd give up allot for 200 acres.

You'd also gain a lot (pun alert - or should I say allert?).

I'd give up my allotment (if I had one).
Fate allots to each what he deserves (what his parents earned, what
happens to be available in the Fates' bag of tricks, a kick up the rear
and a slap in the mouth).

It looks like we might have used up our word-play allotments for this
thread...

That's code for "I can't think of anything more to add"

That little icon down in the right corner which says "Open Network and
Connections Center" when right clicked shows a red X on it. When I
hover the mouse over it, it says "Not connected - no connections are
available."

Interestingly, it has had that red X for as long as I have owned this
computer, and said the same thing. Yet I have been using the internet
daily, as I am right now.

Anyhow, if I have to call my satellite internet service provider for
anything, this always throws them for a loop. I have become pretty
good at solving my own satellite connection problems.

Well, I guess it would be good to get that icon working as intended by
MS. Any suggestions? Wrong service disabled maybe?

Win7-Pro 32 bit.

Thanks for reading.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

Had that problem with several of our computers, after weeks of examining and trying different configurations in system, it was as easy as going into network adapter properties, uninstalling Client of Microsoft Windows, rebooting, then reinstalling Client for MS Windows.
