This pc is running xp pro and connected directly to a dsl router. I have two icons in the taskbar - one is 'local area connection' as normal. However the second is labeled 'internet connection'. When i double click on it - the click on properties, "This connection allows you to connect to the internet through a shared connection on another computer".
There is one other in the building connecting to the internet - but theres not meant to be any inter-pc networking going on.

Can anyone throw any light on this?
