Windows 7 seems to think that I am not connected to the internet even though I am. This just happened yesterday for no apparent reason at all. Please see uploaded JPG.
Is his a bug or am I missing something?

Hello and welcome.

Did you happen to modify any services?
What does the tool tip say when you place it over the icon?
Have you right-clicked on the icon and chosen Diagnose and Repair?
Have you installed any new software?
Click to expand...

Thanks for responding.
The tool tip says "no internet access" but I do have access.
Diagnose and repair finds nothing wrong - presumably because nothing is wrong.
The only new software I installed is a backup program (Memeo) bundled with my WD external drive.

Resetting my FIOS router seems to have solved the problem.

Thanks to reghakr, Master Chief and Kevin for your help

I just fixed mine, it had a red X, but was connecting fine.

Messing around with the wrong services caused it.

No big deal either way, as along as you have an active connection:)
