Ive recently set up a home network and had no problems that I couldnt
work out. But I need something just for asthetics.
You know that network icon in the right part of the taskbar, is there
any way to make my LAN icon different to my dialup icon?

Possibly, what if you set the LAN icon to be hidden when connected, and the
dial-up icon to be displayed when connected? You can rename the connections,
but that would require a mouse over to show which connection was active.
This can be done through the properties for the connections.

It's probably going to depend on whether on not your LAN is connected most
of the time.
