Default no Local area network icon


Right click The Start Button and select properties then click on Start Menu
Tab then click on [Customize..] button.
On Customize Start Menu click on Advanced Tab, scroll down to this:
[ √ ] Network Connections = make sure it is checked
(*) Dispaly as Connect to menu check this Radio button and click [Ok]
Then [Apply] then [OK] again to close the Taskbar and Start menu prpoerties.
Reboot your machine, does it show up?

Do you know your Wireless/Network Card manufacturer and Model? Try to update
the driver from their website.
Or uninstall the NIC (Network Interface Card) from Device Manager and Reboot
your machine, windows will install the driver for you or prompt you to insert
the CD/software driver for it to install.

Please help.



Click Start Control Panel Network Connections Locate the Internet
Connection you want and Right click it and select properties.
On the Connection Properties look down and you will find two check boxes,
please check them:
[ ] Show Icon in Notification Area when Connected
[ ] Notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity


Another; Right click the Start Button and select Properties then on the
taskbar and Start Menu Properties Under Taskbar Tab click on Customize Button
opposite this:
[ ] Hide inactive icons [ Customize...]
There Highlight the Local Area Network Icon and select from the drop down
list Always Show.

Or try and make sure th UPnP service is started in the services control
panel:
Open a run command and type in:
services.msc click [OK] locate the UPnP and start it Auto.
Reboot your machine.

HTH.
