I have an icon in the system tray of two computers with a red cross through
it. When I move the cursor over it the message displayed is "Local Area
Connection - A network cable is unplugged".

However, I do not have a wired network, I only have a wireless network for
internet access which works fine.

If I open my Network Connections I have displayed:-

Under Internet Gateway:

Internet Connection
Connected
Internet Connection

Under LAN or High-Speed Internet:

Wireless Network Connection
Connected
Belkin 54g Wireless USB Network Adapter

Local Area Connection
Network cable unplugged
Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection

Is there any way that I can get rid of, or stop this icon being displayed?
