Red 'X' over wifi bars?

[Shadow]

Ok so for some reason whenever i connect to wifi on my computer i get this red X over the wifi bars or sometimes i get this little yellow sun like thing. Can someone tell me how to fix this because the bars never show up white.

Red X means no connection, Yellow means there's a connection but can't identify it.

I've never heard of that, it's must be graphical or little mishap on your computer.

If you've bridged your connections for Xbox or anything, then it will show that you don't have a wireless connection when you really do. It's just a little glitch.

Are you running more then one netword adapter ? one could be connected while the other isnt.
If you just have 1 running then try to update your wifi adapter drivers.
Or another way to fix it is to do a system restore to a point where it was working correctly, or do a system format.

Unbridge it if you want to restore the bar icon thing-y. But if it's to your Xbox, you won't be able to connect to xbl anymore. So it's up to you.

If you have connection to everything else and all it does is just show the X, I would not worry about it as much.

Weird man. I have the red X but have connection, I believe that is because my connection is bridged? Not sure

Edit: just read thread, pretty sure that's what very one is talking about.

Just reformat your computer it happened to me a lot of the time. So just reinstall windows

Would that involve me losing everything?

Well if you have a lot of stuff just transfer it to a external hard drive. Than transfer it back.

If that's the case it's not that big of a deal, i'm sure there are other ways to fix it.

I think it means that it may be disabled.
