hello wizzards,<br>
<br>
I have a external Etech Bullet modem (56K6-V90) everything is working fine, but I can't see in my status bar whether I'm connected and with what speed (in NT4-SP4-Workst)<br>
Under Win98 I used to be able to see this.<br>
<br>
Any ideas??<br>
<br>

 
I think it's a bug in NT<br>
I can't see it either on the Server or other NT workstations.<br>
<br>
But you can bring it up by going to &quot;My computer&quot;<br>
&quot;DialUp Networking&quot; <br>
Click the &quot;More&quot; button<br>
click &quot;Monitor Status&quot;<br>
Click &quot;Preferences&quot; TAB<br>
(down in the bottom of this window you have a few options)<br>
Check either radio button you like<br>
<br>
Hope this Helps
 
I've noticed on my NT machine that if I have IE or Outlook automatically dial my connection that I do not get the status lights. But I have a shortcut on my desktop for my dial-up connection and if I connect using that(or directly from Dial-Up Networking)then I get the status lights.
