Go to Control Center, (that's the one with the blue circle around the screwdriver and wrench) click on "network-Internet, then "Network center"..Is there anything there?

Go to menu, more applications, monitoring. Do you see it there? If so click on it.



It is not listed there: Menu>More Applications>Monitoring : All that is listed is: KDiskFree and KwickDisk and Systeminfos

Yes ! Both the wired Ethernet and the GPRS/Edge/3G connections are listed.
I don't have a problem accessing the internet - the only thing that is missing is the internet monitor Icon in the system tray.

Thanks !

If you right click on the sys tray, then click system tray settings, then "Auto Hide" , is there an option for the net applet?

Not a problem...Most likely there is a real simple solution. Is your computer plugged in? ;D ;D...

OK !
I created a new user and the net_applet is in the system tray, I just wonder what happened and why it can't be restored in my original
user account ?

I'm now having the same problem.
Did you ever find a solution?

No, never did find the solution - Just created a new user account and gave the new user
permission to access all of the files for the original user account.

Anyway, that is how I got the net_applet back into the system tray !

Hope you have better luck than I did  ;D

log in with the account that doesnt show the icon and then open the terminal and type "net_applet"

The icon should now show up on the tray area or you will get a reason why it doesnt if it doesnt. If it does show up, then all you will have to do is set the application to start at log in.

That worked - logged in to the user account where the net_applet was missing
Opened a Terminal and typed "net_applet --force" and the network monitor appeared in the
system tray.

Right clicked on the applet and under settings > always launch on startup
