What is this symbol, and how do I get rid of it ?

[NStocks]

I was in the network preferences a while back to try and get network sharing on. I can't remember what I did, but this annoying symbol is always in the menu bar and I want to get rid of it. How and what is it anyway ?

Thank You

Hold command and drag it away. *poof*

Press and hold CMD and drag the icon off the menu bar. IIRC, it's some kind of network connection.

so then how do you get it back ?

Thank You

It works perfectly... Learn something new everyday.

What is it though ?

Well, you never actually said which icon on the menu you showed us is the one you want to get rid of.

Good point !

It's the third one from the left it looks like this : <...>

that is the PPPoE service... in Network pref > Ethernet > Configure Box > Select Create PPPoE Service.

Under the PPPoE service you will see a check box to add the icon to the menu bar.
