Re: two wee tv's

I think you are going to need to give a bit more information.
Are you using a Plusnet supplied router or a USB modem

Re: two wee tv's

I think I understand.
You have previously used a dial up or USB modem connection.
With the router you are always connected to the internet and when your computer can see the router there will be a Network (Internet Access) Icon in the bottom right corner you will not see the two little TV screens although normally the Network Icon is a little TV. It may however be hidden by default

Well if you're posting from your PC I think we can assume you are connected OK - you're certainly posting from a PlusNet IP address Smiley
What version of windows are you using?
In XP you would need to go Start > Control Panel > Network Connections  There should be a connection showing as connected.
Right click that and select properties, at the bottom you should see a tick box for 'Show icon in notification area when connected', tick that and they will appear.
Vista will probably be similar.
