Icon "Network Cable Is Unplugged"

I have an icon in the system tray of a computer with a red cross through it. When I move the cursor over it the message displayed is "a network cable is unplugged".

However, I do not have a wired network, I only have a wireless network for internet access which works OK.

Is there any way that I can get rid of or stop this icon being displayed?

I am running Windows XP SP2

I have the exact same icon. I only have a wireless connection as well.

Edit: I solved it for my computer by opening my Network Connections in the control panel. I found the connection (the Dial-up/wire) that was showing up as the problem, and I right-clicked it and chose the Disable option. See if it works for you too..
