nels0360 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I just performed a reinstall of Windows XP and installed my applications. I have my LAN connection set to show the network icon in the system tray. However, the icon does not appear on start up. It will appear if I go into the Network connections page though. Any ideas?

littlebone Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Do you have the "hide inactive icons" box checked in the taskbar properties? That might be the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nels0360 Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Nope that isn't the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzButt Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Disable the icon and reboot. Then go in and enable the show icon and reboot again. Might be a driver issue though. If this does not work remove and reinstall the NIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoS Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I myself have not found that icon to be that useful. Why do you want it in the taskbar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binodnepal Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Yes you can do this.1. Right Click "My Network Places" (which is on the desktop) and click properties.2. Double Click "Local Area Connection".3. Put the check mark on the check box that states "Show icon in notification area when connected".4. Click Ok.This should solve your problem.
