Disconnecting From a Network

    Hi,

    I have a couple of icons in the Systems Tray concerned with network connection (Edimax Wireless & Currently Connected to ...).

    The other day, 'Currently Connect to' disappeared from the tray. I wanted to disconnect from the network, but not restart.

    I could not find a way of disconnecting using the Edimax icon.

    I re-booted and all returned to normal.

    In the event of a similar occurrence, How can I disconnect and re-connect if the 'Currently Connected To' icon disappears?

    Thanks

    ControlPanel, then Network and Sharing Center.
    Click the hot link at the end of view your active networks that says Connect or disconnect.
    Choose the one you are currently connected to by clicking (left) on the name. You can click the disconnect button that appears.

    Thank you.

    I have found the 'Disconnect' button. In my case, this is given directly in the ISP section on the main page (Network & Sharing centre).

    Best wishes.
