LAN icon on systray?

Hi,

I have just finished setting up a new win2k3 enterprise server and to my
surprise, ipconfig has shown the server is connected to the Internet/LAN
with a dynamic IP address assigned from a DHCP server. I would like to
change the dynamic IP address to a static IP address; however, there is no
icon on the system tray for the LAN part. Is there a way to do this instead
of removing the already created Internet/LAN connection. Also, the Network
Connections in Control Panel has no entry (i.e. empty folder).

Also, I launched "Internet Properties" and tried to create/setup a new
connection through the "New Connection Wizard", and after selecting the
proper options the Finished button yielded no results.
 
See if this one helps you.

Some Network and Dial-Up Connections Icons May Be Missing

Thank you for all that replied to my inquiry through this post. After
reading the suggestion from the MSFT support site as shown below, I realized
it would be better and easier just to re-install the NIC driver and solved
the problem.
 
Hi Mazi,

Thank you for posting!

Would you like to try the below steps to enable the icon on the
notification area (system tray)?

1. Click Start, point to Control Panel
2. Double click the Network Connections icon.
3. Right click the connection icon (for example, Local Area Connection)
4. Choose Properties from the context menu
5. Mark the option Show icon in notification area when connected
6. Click OK button. Now you will have the LAN icon on the systray.

Have a nice day!

Have a nice day!

Hi Feng Mao,

It is good to hear from you again. Unfortunately, that was the first step I
tried to noavail. If you see my other post, I have this problem fixed by
just re-installing the driver from the NIC package, instead of using the
default NIC driver from Win2k3 CD. Now, I have the icon on the system tray
and the NIC has been manually assigned with a static IP address.
