Red X on Internet icon

I am getting a red X over my internet icon this morning. But I am able to get onto the internet and email. OS is Win7 Pro. Any ideas?

If you hover over the icon, or double click on it to bring up network properties, does it give any message?

This is on my home PC and I am at work now. So I will check and reply back later this afternoon or tonight. Thanks!

This glitches out from time to time, it's either the network icon or sound icon that glitches either restart the computer or explorer.exe and it will update.

I had restarted in the morning 2 times and the RED X was still there... Now I am back home from work about 11 hours later, re-started the computer and the RED X is GONE...

Do you have a choice of more than one network to log on to? If so, that could be the reason for the red X.
