On my windows XP machines there I get the 2 pc screens network icon in the Sys tray when the network is connected.
But on my win98se machine I can't find anywhere that I can tick to activate the show Icon. Has anyone any ideas please.
Thanks in advance.

I can't remember, but have you looked in Control Panel >> Network Connections and found your internet connection? Right click on it and look around.

I do not think you can add to icon to the Sys tray.
But you can copy it (drag and drop from the control panel) to the Quick Launch toolbar.

Thanks for your replies.

I think you are right.

There was a connection icon, but IIRC not the 2 pcs (which appeared with WinMe)

How do you get it to appear in the Sys tray?

I really don't remember, but have the idea that it goes with the properties of the connection or the modem bits.
I've been using a router for long enough to have forgotten those sort of details - and anyway the little boxes which appear with ZoneAlarm do a duplicate job as far as showing traffic.

What the OP is asking for would be used with a router.
I still think it can not be done.

Wrong icon - he wants the "connected" one, not the "Launch".

When connected to a router via ethernet, none of my Windows systems show a connected icon (using 98, Me, XP). What will show under XP is the media not-connected icon should the other end not be there or cable failed.

In reply to:

Unless you tick the box for 'show icon in notification area when connected' (on XP) then the icon will show all the time. This is what the OP is after but like others I don't think this is an option in 98SE.

OK, with that bit of information (which I'd forgotten), I'm in entire agreement: W98 doesn't have the feature.
