Well, I've been using a 56k modem since I got my first PC. Broadband was too expensive. Web graphics were my enemy. Videos were but a pipe dream.

Then, yesterday, I managed to convince my dad to let me set up a network and 'share' (steal and leech off) his connection. Yesterday I didn't know what a hub was, now I have a three PC network and broadband too!


I'm so happy.

I can actually play games online and on my LAN now too!

My question is...

I am temporarily using a laptop (so no games just yet). The laptop is using ME. On my brother's XP machine, he has a little connection icon in his system tray when he is on the network, how can I get that in ME?

I enabled it for my dad's 98 machine, but forgot/don't know how to do it in ME.

Thanks for your help, and for reading my happy ramblings.
