Dea7h Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hello there,Sometimes when my connection disconnects, my windows 7 home premium thinks that I'm still connected so I can't reconnect to internet untill I reboot my computer which's pretty annoying.As you can in the screenshot bellow, the network's tray icon appears as if I was still connected so there's nothing I can do untill I have rebooted :I'd appreciate any kind of help, thanks.

-pops- Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 The icon similar to the one in your illustration, on my laptop at least, is the power state. The web connection icon is a stairs type of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dea7h Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 maybe you are using a different skin or something but anyway, that icon shows me the status of the internet connectionand this how it should look like when I'm disconnected: Do you have any clue about how I could fix this problem without having to reboot my comp everytime :( ?

bludgard Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi,Dea7h.Try running chkdsk from an elevated (administrative) command prompt.If that doesn't fix it,try sfc /scannow in the same way.@-pops-,I get the stairs icon for wireless and the desktop w/connector thingy when connected by cable.
