Are you posting from the same host to prove that you do have network
connectivity as evidenced by your post here?
In the Network applet in Control Panel, right-click on the connectoid,
select Properties, and enable the "Show icon in notification area when
connected" option. Of course, if you configured the Windows taskbar to hide
inactive icons in its system notification area (aka system tray), you'll
need to ensure the network icon is set to "Always show" to prevent it
getting hidden (which would then require clicking on the chevron at the left
end of the tray area to expand and see the hidden icons).
