Windows XP lan icon only shows when disconnected

My lan icon only shows in the tool bar when the ethernet cable is disconnected.

Is this an issue for you? This is normal behavior.

This is a recent change, for the 5 years I've had this computer it would show the icon when it was connected as well as when it was disconnected. I'm having other problems with the lan as well. I asked this question to see if it was indicative of any thing.

I suppose it would depend on what type of problems you are having with your network connection.
