Hi in need of some guidance here, System Tray icon shows Local Area
Connection a Network Cable is Unplugged.I have tried replacing the cable but
get the same message. Also when I try to use Network Setup Wizard I get The
Wizard found disconnected hardware. The network connections listed below are
disconnected.Plug in your network cables or otherwise connect your network
hardware,and then click Next.Connections - Local Area Connection - 3Com
10/100 Mini PCI Ethernet Adapter. The box below is -  Ignore disconnected
network hardware (I have tried this both selected and not !) Also the
suggested route of Start-My Network Places isn't there, I have to go
Start-My Computer-My Network Places Just to prove all I've got is my
internet connection and an unplugged cable for the LAN but no network (which
I've been trying to set up now for 3 days).
I hope I've explained this well enough for someone to help out !!
TIA

Not sure what you are trying to describe but if you are not
using the onboard LAN Ethernet connector, then disable it in
bios setup. The icon will disappear.
