SYMPTOMS
After you set a dial-up connection as the default connection, the icon does not change in the Network Connections tool window. To indicate that this connection is the default connection, Windows should superimpose over the top end of the connection icon a small black circle with a white check mark. The default-indicator icon does appear after you press the F5 key to refresh the screen.
