Solved Red X thru network icon in taskbar
After rebooting my computer this morning, the red x remained on the network icon in the taskbar. I right-clicked on it and selected "Diagnose & Repair" and it said no problems were detected. I am able to use the Internet. I normally leave my computer on. Due to weather I shut it down last night. When I turned it on this morning and booted up this is the situation. Normally if I have this red X I can't connect. Can anyone advise?

I did reboot and that worked. For future reference, I can't follow your other directions. Could you clarify? Thanks for your answer!

What a wonderful invitation. To be made to feel welcome, instead of like a dumby and a pest ... that is becoming kind of rare on many forums.
Have a great day!

My motto is, "
There are no dumb questions, just the people who do not ask them. "
No one should ever feel or be treated any less for simply asking a question that they didn't know about. How else are we to learn if we do not ask.
