Signal Strength?

I have a Dell 1700 series Studio Laptop with Vista.  Where do I go to "see" the signal strength.  My other computers are running XP and there is a small computer icon in the systems tray that reports the relative signal strength.  I can't seem to find it with Vista.  thanks.

On my D630 running Vista, I can mouse over the network connection icon (two monitors with a globe in front) in the system tray (down by the clock).  In the window that pops up should a standard 5 bar signal strength indicator for your wireless connection.

Larry,

Thanks.  That was it.  In my defense, I bought if for my wife and I haven't had any time on it!  The signal strength is great.

Don't feel bad.  Even the best and brightest can overlook the simple stuff on occasion. :D

Glad to hear it is working.
