Local Area Connection Icon ?

P

Paul Woodsford

I have a 3 PC LAN using ICS with a Dial-Up Modem.2 PC's are XP Home and 1 PC
WinME
The LAN and ICS works fine, full connectivity on the LAN and Internet.
On the XP client I get 2 Icons in the Taskbar, the Local Area Connection
Icon and the Dial Up Icon, but on the ME machine I only get 1 Icon for the
Residential Gateway.
Can I somehow get an Icon for the Local Area Connection? and if so How?

I'm sorry, but Windows ME doesn't have taskbar icons for network
connections. Clicking the Residential Gateway icon will give you
access to the host's Internet connection, as shown here:
