Local Area connection - task bar display

[Guest Sunny]

Is it possible to show the local area/activity connection icon on the task

bar?

It's the small icon of two computers.

 

(Using Win98SE on another PC and connected to my ISP by cable)

 

It doesn't seem as easy to find it like in WinXP :-)

Win98SE doesn't have that feature built in.

 

Here's a program that might do what you want:

I found it by going to http://www.download.com and searching for "network

activity". You should be able to find other similar programs there.
