    Hello...I could use some assistance. For some reason, I have lost a connection to the internet. I tried going to "control panel" clicked on Network connections, and it says connection failed. I also noticed I do not have the internet computer icon in the lower tool bar. I have no idea where it went :eek:) What can I do to get this corrected. This is windoxs xp. Thanks for the help.
