Icon in system tray

A little while ago,i changed my broadband connection from USB to Ethernet which has worked perfectly fine after following ntl's instructions,but...

Now i have lost the connection indicator in the system tray (botton right).My sister got it to display on old laptop when i switched to broadband and i dont know where to look for it! I know you have to click on a box for Windoze to display it-where is the box cause i cant remember.

open network connections then you see the one you are using (lan) open with properties_and put the hook in show icon

Cheers Fred-it was really bugging me cause i couldnt remember where to look!

Serves me right for not being nosey when sis did it...
