Resolved taskbar and modem

I have Windows XP on my computer. On the lower right hand corner of my taskbar next to the clock there are two objects that that look like two small computers. When I run my mouse of them it states: "Local area connection speed: 100.0 Mpbs ". I used to have that item on my taskbar when I had dial-up network modem. But right now I have cable modem and I would like to get rid of the aforementioned quoted matter. Please tell me how to get rid of this. Thank you very much abm

 

abm:
Click on Start -> Settings -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connections then click on the Properties. When the Properties Open you will see down at the bottom a box next to "Show icon in notification area when connected" If the box has a check in it - click on the box to uncheck it. Press the OK Button. Then Press the CLOSE button.

This will remove it from taskbar.

Hope this helps.
