If you want to see the Network connections icon
on your windows taskbar, it is very easy to do. It can be quite handy having
the Network connections icon there for you to see as it will let you know if
there is a problem with your connection. The Network connections icon will
let you know if you have low connectivity, an Ip address conflict, or even
if you have no internet connection at all.
How to show your Network connection icon in the taskbar
Go
to the start menu and choose control panel.
Then double click on the Network Connections icon.
Now choose your internet connection adapter. I am using LAN
( Local Area Connection) which is with a Ethernet cable. Yours may be a
wireless adapter. Right Click on your connection and choose
properties from the menu.
On
the general tab of the Local Area connection
properties there is a box that says Show icon in
notification area when connected. Tick this box to show the
network connections icon in the taskbar.
Notes:
You can also tick the box that says
Notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity.
This will let you know when there is a problem with your internet
connection.
A yellow triangle appears when there is an Ip Address conflict or a bad internet connection.

to add a network connections icon to your taskbar.
