Little Blue Soccer Ball at Network Icon?

[Guest]

What's the little icon which sits at the lower right hand corner of the
network icon? It appears and disappears randomly. When I drag my mouse over
top of it, it simply states that I am connected to the network. Perplexing,
since when it disappears, I am still connected to my network! I see it most
after a boot-up or a reboot. It just disappeared again.

I resembles a little soccer ball with two shades of blue!

I dunno...

Could be the earth. Maybe it's symbolizing that we're hooked to the
internet. I've never noticed that it changes. But, if it does disappear,
maybe that means that even though you're still hooked to a network, the
network isn't hooked to the external world.

It means your network has internet access. It is a globe. If it's gone,
you have local access only.

That's the funny thing Art. I have Internet access, despite there being no
globe. Most of the time, it's always gone.

Cheers.

David, what does the A. in your middle name stand for? A**hole?

What's with the personal attack? I answered this with, essentially, the
same answer Art did two days after me. I try to be helpful and you respond
with name calling? Thanks a bunch.
