Baffled by 'no internet access' yet here I am

Options
I was online today when after about 10 mins I had 'no internet access' with the little yellow triangle over the icon in the bottom right of the task bar. I thought I had lost internet connection due to the snow. But no I haven't. So what is happening?
In network and sharing center, the full map has a red cross inbetween network 2 and the internet. I've always used 'network 2'.
I have a wireless router (for my laptop and my nephew's laptop when he visits) but it is wired up to my desktop pc which I what I'm currently using.

    Why is the above post completely blank?
  • Replying to my own message...
    Just had a slight power cut (the entire house) for about 5 seconds. Started the computer back up and now saying internet access. Any suggestions as to why it had said 'no internet access'? :think:

    Is it really? I can see it perfectly. Is it my computer?

    Blank here also
  • I copied pasted my original post. Do you think the 'no internet access' has something to do with why it's blank?

    It's most probably a Windows thing. Mine does it every now and again and eventually realises.

    I wouldn't worry about it!

    I could see it perfectly.

    It was just a joke.

    Not a bad one in my opinion. :D
