In Windows 2000 the connection icon does not show on the task bar on the right hand side.
This can sometimes lead to being connected to the internet after closing down explorer. It also means I can not check my connection speed.
Does anyone out there know how to turn this icon back on?

From Start/Settings/Network & Dialup Connections, locate the Internet connection icon. Right click on it and select Properties. At the bottom of the Property page there should be a checkbox that will show the connection in the System Tray wheneveryou are connected. Click on the box to check it, then close the page. It may not immediately display if you are currently connected, but it should appear next time you initiate a connection to the Internet.
