If you have moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 , you might be wondering why there’s no Network Activity Indicator in Windows 7. Here’s the answer – check this small ‘But Why’ video explaining the same.
No Network Activity Indicator in Windows 7: But Why?
If you are missing this feature in Windows 7 and want it to see in Windows 7, there’s a utility for it, created by Igor Tolmachev.
Network Activity Indicator for Windows 7 - displays the old 'two monitors' icon in Windows 7 that flashed blue to show network activity on the System Tray.
Earlier when it was released as XP Style indicator, I had also blogged about it. XP style Network Activity Indicator for Windows 7
Unlike the original Windows XP utility (that has individual indicators for each interface), this program indicates outgoing and incoming network packets on all available interfaces.
