I have notice that the status networking icon in the taskbar appears idle,
how come it does not blink like usual( like when a web page is been open)
whats wrong? I can still use the network but it does not show to be blinking..
i'm using windows 2000

yer lucky...up until a little bit ago you didn't even have the icon. slow and steady my friend. :)

use rainmeter to show you net activities :)

WFM... though there's a known issue with 0.24.7 beta 3 on some XP setups where a second DUN icon is shown until you move the mouse cursor on it.
Make sure you have a recent version of systray2.
