Hi

Ho do I get my computer to display the '2 computers' icon
in the task bar to show that the computer is connected to
the internet? Many thanks for any advice.
 
I think you're referring to the network connection status
icon. If so, do the following:

Go to Start|Settings|Control Panel|Network Connections.
Double-click Network Connections, right-click on the
connection you use to connect to the Internet and choose
properties, then on the General tab put a check in the box
"Show Icon notification when connected." Hope this helps.

Click to expand...

If you are referring to the icon in the System Tray next to the clock, try
this...
-Right-click Taskbar in blank area and unmark "Lock the Taskbar".
-Right-click Taskbar in blank area again, select Properties. In the dialog
box, be sure the Taskbar tab is the one to front.
-Click on Customize button in lower-right corner. This brings up a list of
all Systray items and their status. Find the icon you refer to (Mine has my
ISP name by it.) and highlight it. This gets a down-pointing triangle to
the right next to what status is. Click on the triangle, then on"Hide when
inactive".
-Apply and OK to close. Then re-lock the Taskbar.
The icon should now be displayed while you are connected.
