If you are using a hardware
device, router or modem, which handles the PPPoE, you won't get a
status window on the task bar. Not even with Windows XP; I know, I
have a friend with Windows XP connecting through a router.

That's not actually true. If the user has a UPnP enabled router and also
enabled UPnP in their operating systems then the router will show in the
notification area/systray as "Internet Gateway" and provide connection
status and throughput. To echo your words, "I know" but not because I
have a friend but because I have just such an icon in the notification
area as I'm typing. g

How are you making the DSL connection? If you are using a hardware
device, router or modem, which handles the PPPoE, you won't get a
status window on the task bar. Not even with Windows XP; I know, I
have a friend with Windows XP connecting through a router.

OTOH, when I first set up my DSL connection, I used Enternet 300 on my
Windows ME computer; I had a status icon on the task bar. I lost that
when I moved the connection to a NAT router, and dumped the Enternet
300 program.

If you are connecting through a PPPoE connection on a hardware
device, DO NOT try to install a software PPPoE manager on the
computer. It won't work, and it will cause problems with the hardware
device.
