I just haven't turned off XP's popup balloons yet. I can see that if I turn off those balloons that the icon will not report connection status.

I have two computers connected: 1 computer is linked to a wireless and the other computer is wired to my WAN. I'm trying to find if there is a interactive type of LAN Connection icon that will show if my wired computer LAN Connection is enabled or disabled.
I'm using the LAN Connection icon that is in the WinXP Network Connections...just that it doesn't indicate the connection status unless I right click to check the status.
Anyone ever heard of such a connection icon?
