Icon missing in Task Bar Notification area

[Palustris]

The Icon which uses to appear showing whether we were ********* to the internet or not has disappeared from the Notificaion area of the Taskbar (Vista Home Premium) Anyone any idea how to get it back.? I cannot even find it (small TV screen) on the Computer anywhere. TIA

In XP it is start - my network places - view network connections

Right click on the wireless connection - click 'properties' and the 'show icon in notification area' is ticked.

Don't know if that is any use for Vista

Right click Windows button (start button) - properties- Notification Area - put a tick in the network box and apply. That should sort it

I've tried and tried, but I just can't guess what was behind the asterisks that so offended AB

Thank you Camioneur, very much obliged. Brilliant!
The asterisked word by the way is c o n n e c t e d.
