After you log on to Windows Vista by using the Guest account, the network icon indicates that the network is either disabled or disconnected
After you log on to Windows Vista by using the Guest account, the network icon in the notification area indicates that the network is either disabled or disconnected. Additionally, you may receive the following error message:
Connection status: unknown. The service to detect this status is turned off.
After you log on to Windows Vista Japanese Edition by using the Guest account, the network icon does not appear in the notification area.
Note This problem occurs even if the network is connected and is working correctly.
This problem occurs only when you use the Guest account. Specifically, Windows Vista cannot determine whether the network connection is working when you use the Guest account.
To work around this problem, log on to the computer by using a different user account.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
