How do I get my Internet Connection/Gateway icon back?

The router is fired up and online but the icon seems to have "dropped off".

What router do you have? I used to have this happen with my Netgear DG834GT quite frequently. Simply disabling uPnP in the Web UI then re-enabling it did the trick. A router reboot should do the job too.

It's a DG834G dude. Thanks I've tried what you suggested but it doesn't seem to do the trick

Make sure uPnP's enabled on the machine, and there's no firewalls blocking it?

I've just checked "Networking Services" and "UPnP User Interface" is ticked :confused:

rebooted the router? Mine does that every now and again.

Check the windows component wizard (from add remove in the control panel)

and see whether the items relating to upnp are installed.

1 Internet gateway device discovery and control client
2 upnp user interface

edit oops missed that above.
