Little Computers Icon next to clock Disappered after XP reformat & SAS Proxy problem

[lastron]

Hi ,

I used to have a little computer icon next to the clock that showed by cable
connection at 10.0 Mbps . It let me know if I was online .

Then I got attacked by the lop.com commercial "trojan" and because it
rendered my IE 6 sp2 unusable , I had to reformat .

Everything now works OK except :

1. I often lose connection because of a SAS proxy problem which I fix with
comcast's ( my ISP ) fix software , which essentially has a restore point I
use .

Why does this happen ?

2. The little computer icon that let me know I was online and showed 10.0
Mbps is gone --- how do I get it back ?

I have the computer setup in Window XP " Classic Style "


Any help appreciated and thank you in advance .

Hi,

For #1, I would recreate the connection from scratch.

For #2, check the properties of the connection from the =
start/settings/networking folder. The option is on the general tab.

Control Panel/network connection, there is a checkbox to
show icon.

Thas SAS proxy is not needed. Here is a discussion of what it is, and
how to get rid of it:

Go to your network connection, select Properties. At the bottom of the
dialog is a checkbox to show the connection.
