I found the icon but there doesn't seem to be an option to view the
connection.

I will try the online test this weekend. Thanks!

No software required - its an online test.

You are using Win98 yes? You need to find your network connection icon,
right click, select properties, and see if you can turn on an option to view
the connection in the systray; its been so long since I used Win98 I can't
remember for sure.. I will have access to a Win98 PC so will have a look.

I'm pretty good with the computer but I don't see where connection option
is
located. I checked using Windows Explorer, desktop Icon, and control
panel.
Are you sure you're not referring to W2000? I have that at work and I
found
the option there.

It looks like I need to subscribe to dslreports.com to get the test
software. True?

Go to your network connections folder. Turn on the option to show the
connection in system tray when connected.

Once you have done this, rest your mouse over the connection to see what
your connection speed is. Post back the results.

Alternatively, you can use one of the test programs at www.dslreports.com
to
check the speed of your internet connection.
