SYMPTOM

On Windows 7 32bit or b4bit clients, after creating an incoming connection, the system tray icon always displays a red x when no incoming connections are active. However, you can still access internet without problem.

See the following snapshot,

ROOT CAUSE

This issue happens since no incoming connections are active.
