    At the bottom right of my desktop I see an icon of 2 comptuers with a red x. When I put my mouse over it, it says "A network cable is unplugged". Is that right?

    That means your phyiscal internet cable is unplugged somewhere along the line.

    It means that you have a network card installed in your computer, but there is no cable plugged into it.

    So your not on a network and you dont have a router etc that would be plugged into it.

    Nothing to worry about.

    you must be using winxp as those two computers represent wired & wireless network connections & if both had red x over them then you must be on a telephone modem to get on the net like here
