Well I connect to the internet using DSL.
I am not sure what Local Area Network means but when I was setting up my router, I used wired and I think that was what set up the Local Area Network. Then I set up my wireless connection and I had to bridge the two to use my router/internet. The thing is now every single time I boot up, there is the local area network icon in my system tray saying that the cable is unplug. I would rather it not be there and the only way I can think of doing that is disabling my local area network but the moment I disable it, I can no longer use the network because it is bridged.
