Strange prob

I use IE and have just done a reformat. Now when i go on the Internet down in the bottom right hand corner i get a little icon saying my computer. It should come up with a little globe and Internet next to it.

What can i do to resolve this as i think im viewing webpages locally and not actually on the Internet.

even if your working offline it should still show internet in the status bar but also another connection showing what appears to be a cross on a pipe linked to a drive

Surely the fact that you have been able to post this message indicates that you are not viewing pages locally?!!!
