in reply to monitoring tcp/ip traffic

in winxp it is usually blinking when there is an internet traffic to and from the computer

This is an option in WinXP. Maybe it is in Win7 as well? ( Guess not )

In WinXP, the option is called "Show icon in notification area when connected". It is located in the properties of the Connection

  1. From the Control Panel,
  2. Open "Network Connections"
  3. Open the relevant connection ("Local Area Connection" for LAN)
  4. Click "Properties".
  5. Check "Show icon in notification area when connected".

    thanks ikegami, in windows 7 the "Show icon in notification area when connected" is omited, and the wireless icon is very poor like this picture: http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9881/geierfig01.jpg and can't be changed, it is not animated. many people are complaining from this omission
    try google (windows 7 network icon) there are many people unsatisfied by this.
