Wireless Network Connection icon not visible on System Tray

[Shazid]

I am using Windows Vista with internet explorer 7 on my system. I used to have an icon in the notification area that showed the signal strength and wireless network connection when you clicked on it. Now that icon has disappeared and I am not able to find it back. I have not changed anything recently on my computer, at least not intentionally. So I have no idea what might have caused it to disappear. Can anyone tell me how do I get it back? Thanks

Try to open Network and sharing Center by clicking on Start and then typing Network and Sharing in Search box and pressing Enter. Now click on Change adapter settings link in the top left of navigation area. After that right click network connection you want to enable to disable for power management and then click Properties and click Configure. On the power management tab clear the check box for Allow computer to turn off this device to save power. Similarly you can also try to enable Wake on Lan for all wake methods of just enable magic packet of Wake of Lane as well.
