Unfortunately, this is a known issue and currently there are no Posted with the permission of the engineer working on this ticket: Thanks for all of your suggestions and help! This is an awesome community and I hope to contribute here a little more often in the future, but with the school year just starting up things are pretty crazy.

I'll be getting a call from them sometime later this week. I am interested to know what the Untangle engineers will recommend. Our two internal DNS servers are setup to forward to our ISP's DNS servers with root hints disabled. It is definitely something DNS based though: If you set the computer to an external DNS server there is no cursed yellow triangle. I have an escalated support ticket open with the Untangle team. The only way to get the computer to work normally is to bypass the Untangle gateway altogether. The odd part is that even after all of the applications are disabled (so essentially nothing is filtering the clients), the issue still does not go away. Just a quick update: I did some further troubleshooting tonight and found the cause to be our Untangle firewall after all. Does anyone have any information at all that might be helpful? This is driving me (and my users who can't use clipart) crazy! Reset the TCP/IP stack, problem persists. I set up a GPO to set the "Turn off Windows Network Connectivity Status Indicator active tests" setting to "Enabled", problem persists. All computers having this issue are able to access I followed this article to disable NCSI:, problem persists. Connected to different access point/switch/network adapter, problem persists. Enabled IPV6 (according to a forum post I read on here), problem persists. Uninstalled/reinstalled network adapters, problem persists. Thought it might have been Untangle (our firewall product), disabled all firewall rules and all apps to test, problem persists. I do not understand how two identical laptops, fresh off the same image, joined to the same domain, logged in as the same domain user, connected to the same wireless access point, in the same room as each other can have one with the yellow triangle and the other that does not. The computers that don't have the yellow triangle are able to insert clipart to their heart's content. However, in Office 2013, when you try to insert clipart, office reports that "you need an internet connection to insert online pictures" on the random computers that have the no internet access issue. This is regardless of whether the client is wired or wireless. This was always a nuisance and resulted in many unneeded support calls, but never caused real issues until Office 2013 so I never attempted to fix it.

Some replies said this worked for them.I am at my wits end with this issue! Ever since we switched from WinXP to Win7 two years ago, certain computers (with no rhyme or reason) would state that they had "No Internet Access" with the yellow triangle above the network indicator icon in the taskbar, despite the computers having full network and internet access without issue (for two years straight, so no lurking problems that we've discovered). If I switch the firewall back on again once I'm on a web site the same thing happens if I try to go to another web site, so this is definitely the firewall.Īn earlier post suggested uninstalling and reinstalling Avast and provided links for this. What seems to be happening is that my browser is "timing out" trying to establish a connection to a web site.

This did the job, but now with the latest update I need to switch off the firewall altogether. This issue cropped up on a previous update and I took the advice of someone on the forum to change my firewall setting from public to private. Thought I would add that I'm having the same problem.
