544559 2007-04-26 22:35:00 Asus A3Ac laptop running XP Home SP2.

In Local Area Connection Properties, when I put a 'tick' to show icon in notification area when connected, the two little computer icon shows when this wireless is connected - this fine. But when I restart the laptop, this icon shows briefly with a red big X and as soon as it is connected, it disappears! When I go to check its propeties, the 'tick' has gone before the Show icon in notification area ....

The wired Ethernet connection icon stays when it is connected, though.

Have tried to re- tick it a couple of times but as soon as I restart the laptop, it disappears!:confused:

How do I resolve this issue?

From the modem outward, whatever happens to modulate, encode or send/receive is no business of the OPSYS . . . that's the job of some other firmware to handle .

That's why I believe the wired icon is the only one showing . Actually, it's just reporting on the LAN card . . and we know it has the ability to fudge connection speeds anyway .

The red "X" is just it's way of saying it doesn't care .

Or not .

It's a built-in.
