    Wrong wi-fi icon?

    I have my 'old' Black Panther system now connected by a wi-fi dongle.

    There isn't a networking problem here, because the pc gets online with no problem.

    However the bottom-right icon (near the clock) shows the symbol for not connected - 5 empty bars and a red cross over them.
    Mousing over the icon it says 'network - internet access' *Confused Why on the task bar i do not have the Wi-Fi icon? :confused: And there is internet.

    Why isn't the correct icon showing up? *Wtf :wtf:

    Wrong wi-fi icon?

    what if you try a simple disabling of the wifi network connection then enable it again and see if the icons change? It shows the Broadband connection as disabled anyways, so I cant think that would effect the icon status of the enabled wi-fi.

    Wrong wi-fi icon?

    Does it show the small red cross over any connection icon under Network Connections (Windows + R -> ncpa.cpl)? If it does, disable that one and see if the task-bar icon remains the same.
