Hi guys I got a problem with my dialup connection icon. This happen only once in a while, and maybe after using the internet for a while. My problem is, when I use my dialup connection, a little icon appears on the bottom right corner of the screen as it should. But lately, for somereason it disappears from there. I am still connected to the internet but my little icon that was there is now gone. The only I can make it appear is if i go to start up, and log out, and log back again, and only then it will appear again. Makes it hard to disconnect from the internet, if i cant get to the little icon in the corner there. Has anyone heard anything like this?
