network status icon

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I have a question about the network connection status icon in the taskbar
tray, do i really need to have it there or is it necessary for my connection
to run properly?? It's the local area connection status icon and I have a
DSL connection

taskbar tray?

that didn't work either and by the way the box for "show icon in notification
area" was already unchecked, of course it's still in the taskbar tray.

that's not going to work because it disables my DSL connection, so i guess
that means that there is no way that i could remove it from the tray?
