| 296700 | 2004-11-26 09:35:00 | Hello people, I am new here so treat me nice please, if I appear stupid. I have recently got cable through Telstraclear and am connected fulltime through my PC running Win98SE. The issue I have is that Win98SE doesn't seem to show a connected icon on the right hand side of the start bar and so I only know I am connected by orening IE or OE, and I have no way of checking the status of my connection or the usage happening without going to the Paradise Homepage and checking there. Does anyone know of a utility which will allow mw to watch my usage from my desktop Thankyou, Herindoors |

If an netwrok connection, and I'm not sure if 98 shows the network connection in the system tray, but in win2000 there is a little tick box at the bottom left of your network properties that says something like: Show network connection in system tray . This will give you the little monitors that flash when there is activity . I have no idea how USB activity is monitored, never used it for internet connections . Is that what you mean? |

| 296703 | 2004-11-26 18:30:00 | Is this what you are after ? ToggleNETLIGHTS installs a task bar icons that shows you when there is network or Internet traffic occuring . Indicators The ToggleNETLIGHTS icon has two indicators . The top left icon lights up when there is incoming network or Internet traffic . The bottom right icon lights up when there is outgoing traffic . Great for Cable and DSL Modems If you once used a modem to connect to the Internet you may have been used to seeing traffic across the modem connection . But often when you switch to a cable or DSL modem this option is no longer available . ToggleNETLIGHTS restores the ability to see incoming and outgoing network traffic . Great for the Office Too If you're connected to a local area network (LAN) then ToggleNETLIGHTS is great for you too . ToggleNETLIGHTS will show all network traffic letting you tell the difference between stalled downloads and plain old slow traffic . Works with all Versions of Windows ToggleNETLIGHTS works with all versions of Windows including Windows95, Windows98, WindowsMe, WindowsNT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP . . webhosting-files . com/togglenetlights-I2118 . html" target="_blank">www . webhosting-files . com |
