Default Local area connection message I dont understand?

An icon appeared on the right hand side of the taskbar with a yellow dot bouncing between them and when I hung the mouse over it the message " Local area connection 2 speed 8.1 mbps status acquiring network address". Does anyone know what this means in plain english as I dont understand if it is a normal not to worry about message or is someone trying to access my computer? Please Help! Thanks
