Display of current Network speed
Hi, Not sure if this is the correct place to post but here goes.On Windows XP, in the notification area(bottom right hand corner), you put the mouse cursor over the Current Network Connection icon and it tell you THE CURRENT NETWORK SPEED THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY GETTING. On Vista it doesn't tell you that!!IS there anyway at all to toggle on the Network speed. I've looked in Network connections and all i was able to find was the MAXIMUM NETWORK SPEED AVAILABLE- which is not quite the info i was looking for.I know this isn't a game-breaking problem at all, but aren't sequels suppose to improve on the past product, not remove useful tidbits? Is there anyway to get it to display "current network speed" without going to back to windows XP? there must be a hidden option somewhere!!!!

Hi, I checked on a Windows XP machine and found that it just displays the maximum network available speed as well. Thus, please confirm if you installed certain third party software on the Windows XP machine so that it can display the current network speed. Or could you capture a screenshot for me? Based on my research, the current speed of the connection should be able to obtain from WMI and the following GUID: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727432.aspx If you need further assistance about the above article, you may submit the request to MSDN forum. For your convenience, Ive also listed the website of MSDN forum: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN Hope it helps.
