Vista...Connection Status Unknown?

[nickolas80]

Running Vista Ultimate, just the other day, the network connection
icon in the sys tray started showing a red 'x' and showing the message
"Connection Status: Unknown Server Execution Failed".

I can still access the internet. I have tried running ipconfig/
release, ipconfig/renew, and get a good ip address. I can see my
router and its setup (via 192.168.1.1).

I have downloaded installed the fix for it at KB929451, but that
didn't help.

Any ideas?

I also have the same problem with Connection Status: Unknown Server.
In addition, i also am unable to play any video or audio media via
winamp or windows media player/any video player. I have no idea how
to solve either problems. Can anybody help?
