I just deleted the saved wireless networks, changed the NAME of the wireless network in my router and then connected again with the new name and it worked fine now. I fixed the problem by running the troubleshooter and when it is done connected through home group I restarted the machine and uninstalled the wireless driver software. This problem was busting my head all day trying to rejoin a new domain. All the Win 7 machines showed 'No connection available' and a red cross on the Network icon.
Having had a similar problem I wanted to share my experience. First, my network tray icon was showing as no wireless connection while the popup dialog box showed I was connected. I had no bars and there was a circle with a diagonal line through it on top of the wireless icon adjacent to the bars. That said, I was unsure why the network tray icon was reflecting as no connection.
Short and sweet, I went to the Device Manager and saw that my 3G Broadband adapter was showing a yellow triangle and upon investigation saw that the drivers were not loaded. I uninstalled and allowed the drivers to reload and then went into the Lenovo Access Connections software and disabled this adapter to prevent connections when unwanted. Once I had done this, I saw that the network tray icon indicated a wireless connection properly without the circle with the diagonal line through it.
I am not quite understanding how to add the required permissions. I can find the Keys in regedit but how do you add permissions for NlaSvc and Netprofm services? Hi I have a hpdvc 10us laptop with Windows 7 home premium 64 bit I took it to my parents house and found out I could not connect to wifi in the wifi icon show me a list of available networks including my parents wifi but when clicking to connect or connect automatically does not do anything does not ask for anything the key or anything click on manage wireless networks click on add and does not do anything so I can not connect to my parents wifi someone that could help please.
I used a usb adapter I carry with me and connects but only by using the adapter utiliy does the samething if a try it with windows so I know both adaptesr work and it is a windows issue.
I have the same problem. How do you explicitly "replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object"? I'm not as advanced as everyone else, but would like to fix this problem asap before I go overseas Great solution worked for me - it has been driving me insane for months. I didn't find there was any shortcut to adding the permissions, I simply went down the tree as suggested and amended all the permissions in turn. Thanks again guys, for the solution and the addition 'how to' notes making it fool proof, even for me.
This solved my issue with the red x in the icon for wireless network. I had tried all other answers previously with no luck. Goto Start menu and type regedit in the "search programs and files" box then press enter.
Click on each of the user sets individually i. Problem should be fixed now, but please close all windows and the Registry Editor and restart your machine. This blog post does a great job of explaining things a little more in depth. I looked at a working system to see all the correct permissions.
The bigger question is "What changed them? Let me explain, one reason is that windows update has a call home when your computer starts up and you login initially. The second is that Windows itself also has a further call home built into it, again trigged when you login or the internet connection is up.
There is another call home, in windows update if you download the Microsoft network adapter update usually given for invidia lans that one as well, has its own call home. So, if you block any of these sites listed below, you will be connected to the internet, just not to Microsoft, which will trigger the "No internet access" exclamation point on your internet connection icon. Now that is partially the root cause of my particular issue.
And could be the cause of yours. Here is how I fix it, I make sure I am not blocking either of those sites, or that my site blocking is momentarily off. Then, I unplug every single piece of networking equipment from the power and plug them back into the power one at a time. Then I turn off the effected machine. I then plug each piece of networking equipment that is local to my interior network back in, one at a time and wait for them to be connected to the piece before them.
Then turn the machine back on. The issue should be resolved. If not, I suggest you remove the windows update that originally caused the network adapter issue.
Then go through the process again. Change permissions on NetworkList, click advanced, add Local Service and Network Service with full control, check the box to propagate permissions to all child objects. Reboot and boom fixed. And what does that mean? Could you please answer with a "how to" as I looked up what you mentioned and now just have a list of processes and nothing to fix the issue.
This is a very old post, but I hope I can help people who are still having this problem today. I had a very similar problem as well, which persisted for quite some time. I figured it was a problem with the registry, so I searched around for a reliable "registry" checker that didn't simply delete useless registry entries; I know this is useless at best and harmful at worst.
Finally, I stumbled on one that everyone seemed to be raving about. It's by tweaking. It's sort of a step by step guide that walks you through multiple different ways to fix computer problems complete power reset, chkdsk, sfc, and more and then it performs a registry check and fixes common errors caused by old viruses and stuff.
After running the program, voila, the icon was back to normal. When running the system repairs, there is an option to "repair icons" or something like that, which is checked by default. Honestly, this is a miracle tool. My computer is working a lot better than it was before, not just with that network icon. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed.
Thank you for saving me another day of trying to figure out why I had internet access but Windows 10 could never see my Network Connections. If any of you are searching for a resolution this is an awesome tool! I am definitely going to donate to this software. I can confirm that the answer posted above does work, found it whilst pulling my hair out trying to solve the issue.
Big well done to Ugumba. I could not find Ugama's original post but I would gladly click on "purpose as answer". I found a solution for my version of this problem. My tray icon never showed the red X, but if I clicked on the icon, the popup showed a bigger icon with a red X, and said "Not connected". As in your case, Internet worked, but I'm unable to setup a VPN connection because it insists on using a non-existent modem, obviously because I'm "not connected" which I am.
Still red X, still no network displayed, and now errors when I try to view Properties on adapter that I uninstalled and reinstalled. After trying all giving permissions in regedit disabling the ethernet uninstalling the wlan and everithing else said in here this solved my problem i had the network location awareness service stopped and manual this happened after win 7 installed some updates because it was working fine before and i always have the updates disabled somehow they got enabled again and they automatically install themselves so my advice for everyone is before doing anything else first check this 2 services and get them in automatic.

Network and Sharing center states I am currently not connected to any networks. I click on 'Connect to a Network', at the top of the pop up it says 'Not Connected', below the 'Connections Are Available' icon it shows my wireless network and connected.
I can't connect to a HomeGroup. Internet connectivity is working. Saturday, January 23, AM. The processes were running as NetworkService and LocalService, respectively, so I tried adding full access for these service accounts to the entire subkey mentioned above. Notice that permissions are not automatically inherited in the registry, so you may need to explicitly "replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object".
I'm interested in hearing from you guys if your registries miss the same permissions? Tuesday, February 2, PM. Hi, Please also try following steps to troubleshoot the issue. Verify relevant service a. Thanks, Novak. Proposed as answer by iphone 2. Thursday, January 28, AM. I have been having this same problem for probably about two months.
I've tried everything i can think of, and nothing worked. I can't even find anyone else with the same problem; this is the first time I've seen someone else who has the same troubles. I'm using the standard Windows Seven Home Premium. The only difference between my problem and yours is that my Network and Sharing center shows that I am connected to the internet; the Network Icon simply won't update.
It's stuck on the red x; yet when I hover over it, it says "Internet Access". A fix for this would be greatly appreciated. Saturday, January 23, PM. Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I disabled both network adapters and rebooted. No change. Sunday, January 24, AM. I have the same problem, and I think it's causing me problems with my vpn. Like the user above I have internet access, but it doesn't show up.
I verified that it was working by successfully pinging my DNS. Saturday, January 30, AM. Ive seen this happening a few times with win7, the network still works, but windows thins its not connected. I havent spent too much time on it since the connection is still working, looks more like an icon bug to me. When the icon says its not connected, connection properties says it is. Yea but, with windows not seeing me as connected to the network, I cannot use connect to my VPN.
So when I do the for-mentioned restart of the Network Location Awareness Service, It restarts the connection, and as soon as it identifies it kicks it back out. I can still access the internet but nwsc still says im not connected, and I can't connect to my vpn I'm running out of idea's. Saturday, January 30, PM.
Investigating the corresponding registry key on another Windows 7 PC where NSC has worked fine all the time , reveals that by "factory default", explicit permissions are granted to the accounts "NlaSvc" and "netprofm". Now, I can't find a way to add permissions to these account names, as they can't be located in the domain or on the computer, so my fix in the previous post still stands. Wednesday, February 3, AM. Very good, I got my network back, but as you are having the same issue, I cannot connect to my vpn.
Will work with this and let you know. Wednesday, February 10, PM. Thursday, February 18, AM. I have been googling for an answer to this situation for over a month. Ugumba, I must thank you for your research because that finally solved my not being relegated to a Windows 7 network.
Like most stated, everything worked, but Wndows 7 just wouldn't know it. I will say that I'm not surprised that this situation reared it's ugly head. Since I switched my main development machine from XP sp3 to Win 7 RC, the 'only' problems that I've been encumbered with by Windows 7 which I love working with have been caused by the assignment or un-assignment of security permissions in various parts of the Registry.
I do appreciate the fact that Microsoft and in particular--MSDN released the RC of Windows 7 as soon as they did again, I will say this OS is steps better than anything that's been released in a long time , but there stills need to be some meticulous QA done from a developer's and user's standpoint.
Ugumba, again, many thanks. Hope to bump into everyone in this forum again soon. Monday, March 1, PM. Dear Novak, Does the dial-up modem icon disfunciton affect performance? Yours truly, Ron Korn.

I also have this issue win 7 home premium 64 bit I have a router with 2 pc attached to it and 1 is in a homegroup and the other is not - when I try to get the other one to connect it complains about the same thing - not connected to a network.

I just have to thank you ugumba. I had to do a repair install and lost the ability to join my network. Your fixed worked! I had been searching for a solution for over 2 months. I'd like to also thank all those who posted their experiences and progress.

I really need to fix this problem. Thank you so much!! Saturday, April 30, AM. Will let you know in 10 minutes. You will be very frustrated if there is a red X on the wireless network icon which is located in low-right corner of the desktop.
Then you have to stop online job because there is no wireless connection. In this case, the wireless radio in your laptop might be turned off. Please look for a hardware switch or special function key to check whether the wireless radio is on. Many factors including physical factors can affect wireless signal strength.
So if it is possible for you, move closer to the wireless signal source. After you have all the equipment, you'll need to set up your modem and Internet connection. If your modem wasn't set up for you by your Internet service provider ISP , follow the instructions that came with your modem to connect it to your PC and the Internet. If you're using cable, connect your modem to a cable jack.
Put your wireless router somewhere where it will receive the strongest signal with the least amount of interference. For better results, follow these tips:. Place your wireless router in a central location. Place the router as close to the center of your home as possible to increase the strength of the wireless signal throughout your home.
Position the wireless router off the floor and away from walls and metal objects , such as metal file cabinets. The fewer physical obstructions between your PC and the router's signal, the more likely that you'll be using the router's full signal strength.
Reduce interference. Some networking equipment uses a 2. This is the same frequency as most microwaves and many cordless phones. If you turn on the microwave or get a call on a cordless phone, your wireless signal might be temporarily interrupted.
You can avoid most of these issues by using a cordless phone with a higher frequency, such as 5. Security is always important; with a wireless network, it's even more important because your network's signal could be broadcast outside your home.
If you don't help secure your network, people with PCs nearby could access info stored on your network PCs and use your Internet connection. Change the default user name and password.
This helps protect your router. Most router manufacturers have a default user name and password on the router and a default network name also known as the SSID. Someone could use this info to access your router without you knowing it. To help avoid that, change the default user name and password for your router.
See the documentation for your device for instructions. Set up a security key password for your network. Wireless networks have a network security key to help protect them from unauthorized access. See the documentation for your router for more detailed info, including what type of security is supported and how to set it up.
