Disappearing Internet Connection Icon

Hi all,
Not quite a Wireless question but hopefully the place to ask. I
recently changed my broadband modem for a wireless Router. I am also using
Windows XP Professional. When I re-boot the computer I get two icons in the
taskbar, "Internet Connection" which shows the speed I'm getting when I
hover the mouse over it, & a second one called "Local Area Connection"
Within an hour the internet connection icon disappears even though I am
still connected to the net. Why is this & is there any way to stop it
disappearing, it is also gone from the "Network Connections" folder? I have
checked the box asking to show icon etc.

Look forward to your suggestions.

Roy.

Hi John,
Thanks for the suggestion but it is also disappearing in the "Network
Connections" folder as well. Thanks for the idea though.

Regards,
Roy.

In my experience, disappearance in the Network Connections folder is usually a
router problem, not a Windows problem. Try restarting the router and see what
happens.
