Please log in for more thread options My wireless network card (Linksys G w/speedboost) connects/works fine for internet surfing but the taskbar wireless network icon with the radio waves on it has the red X for no connection. WIN XP- SP2, Linksys G speedboost router, Windows network controller. I've uninstalled/reinstalled card and driver but no joy. How to fix? S1 | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options You could use the Network Connection Icon on XP if you go to the LAN Connection screen and right-click the connection Icon/Properties and select *show connection icon in notification area. The icon, two monitors next to the clock on the desktop, will show and then you mouse over it and will tell you about the wireless card like signal strength etc. Duane :) | ||||||||||||||||

The icon is there-- it's just red X'ed out meaning it's disabled, But the network is enabled and working fine-- connects to the internet, etc. S1 | ||||||||||||||||

The one on XP does work and you can install the card's driver and configure the card through XP's Device Manager and not install the card's utility that the icon doesn't work to config the card. You can possibly go the other way and forget about it. Duane :) | ||||||||||||||||

But with this one problem puppy, the icon works properly for one or two boot cycles after an uninstall/reinstall-- then the red X appears through it though the internet connection is perfect.
