Internet connection status incorrect

[Andrea]

Everytime I connect to the internet (dial-up,) my internet
connection noticification icon does not show on my
taskbar. Plus, there is no way to disconnect unless I log
off my computer. Furthermore, when I look at my internet
connections, it shows that I am disconnected, when I know
I am connected. I have tried everything. I even looked at
the internet properties, and saw that the option to show
the notification icon on the general tab is already
checked. Does anyone know what else may help?

Hi Andrea,

Right click Network Places/Properites/Right click your Dial-up/
Properties and place a check in the box lower right that reads:
Show icon in notification area when connected.

Check your settings here:
IE/Tools/Internet Options/Connections/Settings/Advanced/
Disconnect when...

When you quit Internet Explorer, you may not be prompted to disconnect even
if the Disconnect when connection may no longer be needed option is enabled.

The following registry value also verifies that the option is enabled: Go to
Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess\Profile\"Connection
Name"\EnableExitDisconnect. The value should be 01 00 00 00.

This behavior can also occur if the Easy CD Creator Adaptec starts
automatically at startup.

To set Idle TimeOut:

1. The Idle TimeOut option in Dial-Up Networking must be set for the
connection to hang up after being idle. Open the Dial-Up Networking dialog
box, and select User Preferences from the More button.

2. Disable Autodial by location, and set Idle Seconds Before Hanging Up to
the desired amount of time: This value should be greater than 60.

3. Choose Logon Preferences from the More button, and set Idle Seconds
Before Hanging Up to the same value as User Preferences.

4. Open Control Panel/Services and disable the Remote Access Autodial
Manager service.

Another option: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
.. In the right pane, find Autodisconnect and change the time accordingly.

Or...

Start/Run/net config server /autodisconnect:30 (30 being an example).

Thank you for your reply. I wish that's all I had to do
to fix this problem, but I already did what you said a
while ago on my own, and it didn't work. I am at a loss.

[Andrea]

Can you believe after using your thorough and helpful
instructions, that it still didn't fix the problem? No
changes to my situation whatsoever?! I'm beginning to
think that it is an update I downloaded.
AARGH! THank you so much for your help.
