I'm not clear on what you're asking. Can you explain it again? Are you
saying that the connection icon incorrectly displays that there is no
traffic, despite the fact that there is very clearly traffic to and from
your network card?

The Icon works here and I am on Clearwire Broadband.

Try this free utility (I used DUmeter and this is very similar) - Netmeter

Even Im facing the same problem. There's no animation even after i turn the
"Activity Animation" on. In XP there woulsd be a pic of two monitors
flashing. But in Vista there's no flashing going on, to knw if the server is
responding or not. Eachtime i have to go to the statuk to check it
