Icon Display for Broadband Connection

[Paul Woodsford]

I have 2 PC's ( XP Home SP1) on a hardwired LAN.
The Host PC connects to the WWW via a USB Broadband modem ( Speedtouch 330)
I use ICS to let the client use this DSL connection.
On the Host PC I have 2 Icons in the System Tray , 1 for the LAN and 1 for
the ADSL connection.
On the Client PC I only have the LAN icon.
Should I have a 2 nd Icon to control the ADSL connection?

When I was using a 56K Dial Up Modem, before Broadband, I did have a 2nd
Icon on the Client PC to Connect/Disconnect the Modem Connection.

Have exactly the same problem, Icons on the task bar ,I did have 2 now i
have only 1,The network icon,Sometimes both are there,
I notice if i switch on my pc before any of the other 3 in the workgroup
,Then i have the biggest chance to get both network and internet connection
icons.But not all the time.
Was also bothered by other disapearing taskbar icons Until i disabled the
service ,,SSDP Discovery Service ,,
Icons have been fine after this, jonny
