Connected disconnect, disconnected Connected

I am seeing a very weird thing on my computer. My Net connections CP says my
wireless connection is disconnected and the tray has a wireless connection
with a red X, but I am connected and can surf the net [ no Ethernet cord
plugged in], while it says Internet Gateway Internet connection connected.

It often says the reverse when I am disconnected, it says I am connected.

Is there any reason this might be occurring??

Yeah. You installed the XP "Network Bridge" thing. It's primary
purpose is to allow you to use the computah as a bridge (not a router)
between an ethernet wired network and perhaps a USB wired network.
You don't need it and I guarantee it will cause problems. Remove it.

Control Panel -> Network -> Show devices
Right click on the "Network Bridge"
Select "Delete"

Hi Jeff,
I have Network Connections, but not simply a network cp and no Network
bridge or devices listed in the Network Connections CP.

The internet connections icon only appears randomly when trying to
reestablish wireless connections. My Mac is not set up to host connections,
so the only thing that might be seen is the WAP set up as an AP. But I
doubt that would interpreted as a bridge.
