Show icon when connected?
I have a small LAN consisting of three computers connected via a broadband
router. One machine is WinXP and the other two are Win98. On the WinXP machine I have the network status properties set to "Show icon in notification area when connected" but cannot see how to show the connection icon on the Win98 machines. Please can anyone help?
