How to show the message "Now connected to MSN at 48kbps"?
When connecting to Internet through MSN, it always used to show "connected to MSN at 48kbps".
Now, I am not able to get that message when connected to the Internet through MSN.
Also, I am not able to see the connection notification icon in green (2 little monitors that used to change from black to light green when the client was talking to the server). It always remain black , even though I am connected to the Internet and able to browse the Internet.
I want it to change it to green when browsing.
I have reinstalled MSN and also changed the access numbers but the issue persists.

click start - control panel - network connections, then right click your current network connection and select properties - and put a check mark in the box next to show icon in notification area when connected.

Well the first part of your question is easy all you need do is open the Start menu click on Show All connections and then left click on your Dial up Modem connection scroll down to properties and then left click on Proprieties. Then on the Modem left click on Configure and then on the next window that opens tick the box called Show Terminal Window. That will bring up your Dial Up connection again and the speed that it is connecting at.

For the LAN notification the above answer is perfectly correct all you need do is chose the option to show when connected to the LAN and this is in the same pannel as the Dial Up connection all you need do is right click on the LAN connection then left click on Properties and then tick the box beside Show Icon in Notification Area when connected.

Doing that will bring back both of the connections when they are active.
