    I have dual boot machine and recently my Provider changed my ADSL modem replacing R -360 with PIRELLI VoIP Router Runtime Code Ver 1.05S-R- Link Type G 992,5 (ADSL 2+).
    Now connection is obtained through DHCP.
    On XP Pro SP3 all is O.K.
    On Win 98 SE I also have regular Internet connection through IE Explorer and IP Adress 192.168.1.254.
    What is missing is small doubled monitor icon in taskbar which should show that Intrnet connection is established.
    Can anyone help me how to sort this. Checked on Google but nothing found.
    My NIC is D-Link DFE 530 TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (Rev.C).
    Before with old stuff when used WinPoet 2.51 s/w ,icon in taskbar was always shown- now with PIRELLI and DHCP -desapear.

    Usual way is to go to Network Connections, right click on the Local Area Connection > Properties and check the box 'Show icon .....'

    That's how it is in XP as I am sure you know - sure that it was similar in W98, although in those days I was on dialup.

    Thanks for reply.
    In Win 98 SE option 'Show icon .....' not exist, that's why I am confused.

    I don't think I can help you further - I have no access to a W98 box and certainly did not have DSL in my 98 days.
