sorry, I'm getting cynical in my old age :-)

    this was such a good question though that I have been trying to find any
settings for this in .INF's or registry and also trying to see if different
Nics/drivers made a difference
only machine I have at hand now is an i5000, w2k pro, SP2
    I have turned my link icon back on for curiosity sake and tried 4
different Nic's, Farallon PN473, Linksys WPC11, "both Wireless", Xircom
RBEM56-1000 & Dlink DE660 "both Wired"

"and my icon stayed at Packets for all" :-\

what's different between yours and flat mates ?

also have you done a search at M$ support or here

I can't guaranty it, but they may have an answer
