545759 2007-04-30 22:21:00 How do I get Vista to show the network connection icon (the 2 little computer) when it is connected? bk T (215)
545760 2007-05-01 03:24:00 Not sure if it's the same, but in xp pro go to :
Network Connections -> Local Area Connection -> Properties
and there is a checkbox with "show icon in notification area.."
tick that, press ok, and they should appear
Unless it's completely different in Vista, which is possible/probable with M$ lol

Hi my HP Notebook's network system icon has disappeared again - this time, the network tab is greyed without a tick.

How do I get it back?

And also, I can't update the Windows Defender.

Find it quite difficult to control Vista. lol

545763 2007-06-16 22:54:00 I had this problem too. You need to reboot a few times and you will eventually be able to tick the network tab. Apparently there's no set amount of times to reboot but it has worked for myself and others.

There's no reason or understanding why this happens but hey, that's Vista :)

As you said, that's Vista ! ! !

545765 2007-06-18 06:58:00 I hate how the network icon has to be shown or not. I liked how in XP it only showed momentarily if the network card was enabled but not connected. I'm always between connections on my notebook and it's annoying seeing a "No connection" icon in the tray. sal (67)
