Guest Carol Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Using Windows-XP-SP2 Netscape 7.2 I just noticed on my task bar (near the clock time) there is a box that looks like 2 monitor screens with a RED X on it, when I put my mouse on it, says "Local Area Connection A Network Cable is Unplugged, but when I click on it comes up under Network Connections --dial up--Bellsouth with a check mark in it. the other one says --Lan or High Speed Internet-under that is Local Area Connection, with the RED X I do have Dial-up, so what is the other one how do I get rid of it so it doesn't come up again Thanks for any help

Right-click it, click Properties, turn off "Show icon in notification area when connected". -- Joe =o)
Guest R. McCarty Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Re: What is this? Your PC comes with a Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC). Each networking device ( Modem, NIC, Wireless ) creates an associated Local Area Connection. To inhibit the System Tray from appearing for the LAC, you just Right Click the entry in Network Connections and Left Click the option "Disable" "Carol" <cr2235@bellsouth.net> wrote in message news:J64li.9574$yD2.2802@bignews1.bellsouth.net... > Using Windows-XP-SP2 Netscape 7.2 > > I just noticed on my task bar (near the clock time) there is a box that > looks like 2 monitor screens with a RED X on it, when I put my mouse on > it, says "Local Area Connection A Network Cable is Unplugged, but when I > click on it comes up under Network Connections --dial up--Bellsouth with a > check mark in it. the other one says --Lan or High Speed Internet-under > that is Local Area Connection, with the RED X > > I do have Dial-up, so what is the other one how do I get rid of it so it > doesn't come up again > > Thanks for any help
