I am not aware of an application that comes with Win98 that will show a
network connection status or allow one to enable or disable a network
connection at will or reconfigure a network connection. The program I'd
guess you'd be looking for is one similar to Rnaapp.exe for a network
connection instead of Dial-up that would show connection status and pull up
winipcfg, Network configuration or Network Neighborhood. Last time I used
it Wingate did exactly what you seem to desire without using Quiktray.exe,
however it does cost money and you'd probably have to install it on every
computer.
I was suggesting that if you found a program that did this, as another
person posting had suggested, and wanted it placed in the systray just like
XP Quiktray.exe would be the program to do it with.
The purchased Resource Kit comes with a book. Depends on your reading
preferences I guess. Even though I read computerized text most often and
have a laptop I always keep a book of some sort in the bathroom, several by
the bed and one or two in the car.
