Dont worry if this makes no sense im on quite a few pills as im ill

Go into connection properties for your dial up connection. It gives you an option to diplay them when connected in XP (regardless of what type of network connection you are making. I use this in house to diagnose proper lan connections rather than going round to the back of the box and looking for blinking lights)

While we're on this subject, how do you toggle auto disconnect on/off? I find that sometimes it appears, sometimes it doesn't. I like it to appear, because I'm forever forgetting to disconnect otherwise.

You can set that through Internet Explorer tools/internet settings/connections/dial up settings/ advanced, if you are using IE. If not using IE, dunno...
