| Hello!
Just installed the Eval of Vista from DVD today, found most of my beloved "Classic Windows" settings...but there is no Internet Connection icon in the taskbar when IE7 is active...
I'm on dial-up and I rely on this icon to let me know when I drop a connection...especially in the late stages of an eBay auction...
Anyone know how or even if this is configurable???
Thank You! |

| The location should be similar to XP. Open the Control Panel and then Network Connections. Right click on your connection icon, select Properties and the control should be on the first tab (General) at the bottom.

| And there is a taskbar icon option there???
Does your configuration of Vista have an internet connection icon in the taskbar??? Was it enabled by default???
Thanks for the reply!  |

| Nothing under "Network Connections", and none of the other Network selections have a checkbox within DUN with "Show an icon on the taskbar after connecting" which is what other versions of Windows have had.

| I finally found the Vista equivalent of the DUN Connection taskbar icon.
In Vista, the Connection Notification icon has been moved from DUN Properties to the Start menu.
Right-Click Start
- Properties
- Notification Area
- System icons
- Check the "Network" box
You can now Connect or Disconnect from this icon. |
