Local area connection 2 unplugged

[ciarad87]

I have Vodafone Prepay Broadband so I do not have to plug in any cables. However, recently my internet will not connect properly. The Vodem connects properly but I do not get fully connected as the two pcs with a globe do not appear on my toolbar and no pages will load. When I "Diagnose and Repair" is when I get the message telling me that Local Area Connection 2 is unplugged. I do not understand this as I should not have to plug in anything but the Vodem.

It is a vodem that plugs into the usb. I am operating on Windows Vista. I have also tried connecting to another internet connection since posting and the same problem occured
