Using Windows 7 64 Bit---- When Connected to Internet The Network Icon Shows a yellow Triangle with an exclamation point and Gives the message No Internet Access when actually connected to the Network and to the Internet. Disabling network adapter and Avast! then re-enabling them will sometimes but not always solve the problem. Any Ideas? Contacted Avast! and they said they would study the problem and maybe provide a fix in a future edition.

There are already several reports of this type of behaviour (search the forum).
You could try 2 possibilities (either one of them or both).
1:
Avast main GUI → settings → troubleshooting → “load avast service only after other system services”.
2:
Avast main GUI → webshield → EXPERT settings → “…well known browsers only”.
In each case, please REBOOT after changing any of those settings before testing.

I say this option. For starters, WIN 7 dials out at boot to establish “network awareness.” If it can’t connect to a MS url, the toolbar network icon will show the behavior you are describing. Ref: http://blog.superuser.com/2011/05/16/windows-7-network-awareness/
