I am connected to the internet through a router. When I connect to it, it says "not connected" but I actually am connected. I have internet and everything works fine. Why is it doing this?

I would venture a guess that you are monitoring the wrong (not connected) connection.

I had exactly the same problem after trying to implement WPA without success and reverting to WEP. The problem seemed to be with XP, not the router. I solved the problem by renaming my connection on the router, which forced XP to create a new connection. Now works fine and always says I'm connected. Great with computers how you follow all the instructions and it still doesn't work.
