For some reason my "Internet Connected" icon no longer appears in the system
tray at the lower right side. All the other icons are there except this one
which was working fine up to now. How can I restore this icon?

Don't know of a Windows-supplied tray icon that says "Internet
Connected". Even when you enable the tray icon for the LAN connectoid
in the Network applet in Control Panel, it doesn't say that. So either
what you said it said is wrong or you'll have to figure out what 3rd
party software you installed that provided a tray icon option (that is
now disabled).

Click Start, Settings, Network Connections, (or Start, Connect To, "Show
all Connections"). Right-click the connection, click Properties, click
"Show icon in notification area when connected", OK out. If it's
selected, deselect, apply or OK out, reenter, and select it again.

Yes the internet connection still works so in that sense there is "no
problem" but previous to yesterday there was always an icon showing an
internet connection with the elapsed time showing. I just changed routers
yesterday so I am wondering if that did something??

Is it possible that you do not know everything?

That did not work but the "local Area Connection" is showing but not the
other icon showing the internet connection. It may be related to a new router
I set up yesterday but not sure why.

No, it's a normal XP glitch. Go to Network Connections, disable it and
enable it again and you should be good for a couple of months -)

That did not work because the connection does not appear in network
connections. Local Area Connection is there but not internet connection

Right click on Local Area Connection/Properties/General tab and you'll
see it.

I do know that the message you said it shows for the tray icon is not
one presented by a Windows included app. Since there are probably
millions of 3rd party products for Windows the exist and have existed
over the past 2 decades, it is very likely that I won't know which one
of them presented you with the message that you say it did.
