    Ethernet does not want to connect


    I have just started up my new PC that I just bought and now I need help with a problem.

    My network notification says that I have Ethernet connection but no internet connection. The cable was okay and plugged in properly. I checked network and sharing center, diagnosed and got the message that "Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP connection". I looked online to see how to fix the problem but I'm afraid that I may have changed something I shouldn't have. I disabled and enabled Ethernet and restarted the PC but the issue persists.

    Any idea to fix this is appreciated.

    Windows System Tray Network Icon When Connected to VPN

    I have noticed that the network icon in the system tray changes from a wireless symbol to the Ethernet symbol when connected to a VPN (using a wireless adapter for network connection).

    This can get confusing but I did get use to it... until yesterday's update. Now, it does not change at all.

    Why does it not change to a VPN icon of some sort? Perhaps a hybrid of wireless & VPN icon if using a wireless adapter, or a Ethernet & VPN icon if using an Ethernet adapter.

    Think about it. Who doesn't want to know when they are connected to their VPN? Or, more importantly, disconnected?
