    The little icon in the task bar, you know the one with 2 screens and a globe to show its connected to internet? Well I recently say yesterday somthing VERY annoying. Sometimes it wil just show the 2 screens w/o the globe on it. Its really annoying and I think it messing up my connection. Are there an solutions to this?

    It would be nice if you share with us the system model, OS and a screen shot. Not all comps have that "globe" that you are talking about :p

    cheers ...

    If it doesn't have a globe and you are still able to access the internet... I'd say it's exactly what you said. An annoyance. Try setting static DNS servers.
