My network is disconnected from the internet. It is a strong company's security rule. Sometimes on my workstation (with Vista SP2) appears Network Connectivity Status Indicator with Internet connection status is ON. It describes in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766017(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_Benefits In particular it means that my network is connected to the Internet. (Maybe some user is connected to the internet by GPRS...) What should I do to find out the reason of that? If it is really a connection to the external network, its my duty to restrict that. Thanks.
