Hi guys, hope you're well. Just a quick one today that I'm hoping someone can assist with.
For the last week or so the ethernet connection icon in my notification tray (Windows 7) shows a red cross. My internet connection is fine and it doesn't show up when I connect the same ethernet cable into another PC tower.
I think I may have changed another setting on my PC at some stage which has caused it. I understand that there are two sides to an ethernet connection - one where the connection is 'true' and allows internet access but then something further I'm unaware of that, if disconnected or disabled, could cause the red cross?
I've tried to use the fixes on the following link but nothing seems to work:

If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful! It's something that does not limit my day-to-day use but really bugs the cr@p out of me.
Thanks, HB
