Internet Connection Icon doesn't show in taskbar

[Davkeo]

Hope someone can help me with this one...

After I connect to the net my internet connection icon doesn't show in the taskbar. Now I can't see my connection speed. And I have to unplug the phone cord from the modem to disconnect.

I've checked the "show icon in notification area when connected". I've tried restarting, even re-installing.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

David

right click the start button, select properties, click the taskbar tab. click the customize button, restore defaults. see if that brings it back.
