I was wondering if there is anyway to add the network connection icon (like Win2K & XP) in the systray? I'm not really interested in the dialog balloon, just the icon with the flashing light when you send/receive data.

I guess I should have made it clear that I mean for broadband not dial up.

It's been a long time since I ran 98. But I remember I had a little freeware utility that would do that. You'll have to google for it though, I don't remember the name. Windows 98 by its self does not have the network activity icon.

id also be interested in this, im gonna try to look for it and ill let you know what i find, if anything. just letting you know someone else is interested.

Says beta, but it is very stable, I'm using it in Win98SE, ME + XP.
