Missing DUN Status Connection

Dun

Trying to fix a problem on someone's computer - they're on an ISDN connection, and a while back, the normal DUN icon in the system tray stopped displaying. This was about the same time that they said a dialler tried to install itself, but it was removed.

Since then, there has been no icon, even when the "Show icon in taskbar when connected" box is ticked. Creating a new connection doesn't help, and the same thing happens with the LAN connection (no status icon, even if the box is ticked).

Anybody have any ideas?

Wow .. well that's a pickle and a half innit?

I've never heard of that little icon not coming up after you tick the checkbox. ... possibly try uninstalling all network cards / modems and removing them (if possible) completely from your system.

Then put them back in one at a time, installing one at a time?

I actually tried an uninstall/reinstall but it made no difference. Since both the modem & NIC are working perfectly otherwise, I think it's something to do with that dialler that they got rid of - sounds like something one of those pr0n diallers would do. I figure that it haxored something in the registry but damn if I can find out what it is

Ah - yeah then you're probably right there. Just tell them not to view porn! It makes god kill kittens you know

Download AdAware or something similar, it'll clean out the registry for you!
