It does not work for me too (winXP SP2). What is strange is that the
connection status is "disconnected" even when I am connected. Thus the icon
will re-appear only if I refresh (F5) the "Network Connections" folder. One
solution to disconnect is to type "rasphone" in the "Run" command and then
choose "hang-up".

It is not entirely satisfactory and I am looking forward a long-term
solution for the tray icon.
