    Hi together,

    I have a strange effect on all my Win 7 clients.

    The Network symbol shows a yellwo sign and claims "no internet access".
    Anyway, the access to internet works absolutely fine.
    It dowesn't matter if it is WLAN or LAN, same effect.

    If I connect the clients directly to the internet the issue does not appear, so I assume that the root cause is somewhere in the configuration of my Forefront TMG.

    Any ideas what I would have to do to fix this?

    Regards Stefan

    Hi,

    this is a common "problem" with the network connectivity status indicator from Windows 7:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee126135(v=ws.10).aspx
    You can safely ignore this message or you must grant the client access to the NCSI server.
    It is also possible to specify your own connectivity status server in your LAN or do disable NCSI with the help of Group policies:
