What is this?

[Carol]

Using Windows-XP-SP2 Netscape 7.2

I just noticed on my task bar (near the clock time) there is a box that
looks like 2 monitor screens with a RED X on it, when I put my mouse on
it, says "Local Area Connection A Network Cable is Unplugged, but when I
click on it comes up under Network Connections --dial up--Bellsouth with
a check mark in it. the other one says --Lan or High Speed
Internet-under that is Local Area Connection, with the RED X

I do have Dial-up, so what is the other one how do I get rid of it so it
doesn't come up again

Thanks for any help

Since you're on Dialup, you don't need the LAN connection. Right-click
it, click Properties, turn off "Show icon in notification area when
connected".

Your PC comes with a Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC). Each
networking device ( Modem, NIC, Wireless ) creates an associated
Local Area Connection. To inhibit the System Tray from appearing for
the LAC, you just Right Click the entry in Network Connections and
Left Click the option "Disable"
