Guest kamil234 Posted July 14, 2006 CID Share Posted July 14, 2006 i wouldn't worry about it. it might just mean that you have connected your internet through local area connect 2 or 3 or something, and not the default one Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/14501-little-red-x-on-my-local-area-connection-icon/#findComment-159502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted July 14, 2006 CID Share Posted July 14, 2006 RaWDiZ that would mean that no eathernet cable is plugged in, but since you have connectivity don't worry about it, its just something that happens in windows sometimes.

FallowEarth Posted July 14, 2006 CID Share Posted July 14, 2006 You should be able to right-click on it, and select properties. Here, there are 2 checkboxes at the bottom: Show an icon in notification area when connected and Notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity. Take the checks out of both and click ok.
