Lost connection icon in tray

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

Hi -

Windows XP he with all current SP's & updates on a Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop

Recently I lost the icon in my systray when I use dialup connections. So, I
have no notification what the connection speed is or click for disconnect.
Already verified the connectoid and modem options are set to display icon in
systray.

If I right-click the connectiod in the start menu's "connect to..." I can
disconnect, but no info ever displays if I select "Status". Searched
through Kelly's fixes but didn't spot it. Is it there? Did a recent MS
update bug the connection notification icon. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Nope, had already done that. I DID happen to find a vbs on Kelly's sight
that fixed the prob. I am not sure why it started happening/not happening.
The only previous changes made I can think of were the MS updates.

Any, all is well over here now.
