Internet activity icon

[Hoppy]

Hi -

I'm looking for a standalone program that will display send/receive internet
activity for the XP systray -- similar to the one in ZoneAlarm. Is there
such a thing? TIA...

If you have XP, go to your network connections in the
control panel. Right click on your Local Area Connection.
At the bottom of the panel, check the box to "Show Icon in
Notification area when connected."

Lanlight looks the same as the XP LAN icon.

I'm looking for something more comprehensive like the one that (used to be?)
used in ZoneAlarm -- like a 2-column bar graph.

Thank you anyway...

Thanks, lugnut, but I'm looking for something more like the one that (used
to be?) used in ZoneAlarm or the TrafLED plugin available for OutPost
firewall -- like a 2-column bar graph or such.

Thank you for the effort.

You can always use an icon extractor and extract the red/green icons from
ZoneAlarm and use those icons with LanLight. ZoneAlarm has 32 icons in
ZLCLIENT.EXE that are used to animate the icon in the system tray. With
LanLight, you're limited to using 4 icons (idle, send, receive and
send&receive). Right-click on the LanLight icon in the system tray and
select "Change Icons".

Just a thought

Thanks for the link, Herbert. This is more like it.

The screenshots look like all full screen. Do you know if this program has
a tray icon that looks resembles the screenshots?

Well... my curiosity got the best of me, and I installed the latest (beta2)
version. This is a VERY NICE little program.

With all it's options -- like the "see through" & "transparency" features --
the graphic really doesn't need to reside in the systray/notification area
since my screen real estate remains essentially uncompromised.

The "Always on top" option doesn't alway stick, but this looks like a
keeper. Thank you very much.

....and a good thought at that! I may just give that a shot. Thank you very
much for the tip(s).
