Anando,
Yes, the icon is the one with a 'revolving ball'. I tried
to update my driver for the Westell DSL modem, but it said
that I had the most recent drivers installed, and I do not
have a second network card installed. As I said earlier,
this only happened once I downloaded XP SP2. Is there
anyone else having this problem that could help?
