383640 2005-08-25 09:49:00 I have two computer icons on my desktop toolbar to show the statules of my network connection. If a cable is unplugged they have a red cross in them. I have computers connected by wire to a hub and then that hub connected to another hub via a wireless link and then onto a server. If the second wireless link is turned off the network icons do not show a broken link. Does anyone know why this is happening.

thanks Drew

"Show icon in Notification Area when connected"
and
"Notify me when this connection has limited or no Connectivity"
ticked in Properties
Right click the connection concerned in Network Places and select Properties
