when the Guest account opens and I try to access the web,
the ISP won't access the web. It just spends around without ever connecting. What do I do to let the 'Guest' access the web? |

The guest account can not initiate a connection to the web - it is a VERY
low privileged account. (If you pay by the minute, you'll be glad that strangers can't just launch your connection and start racking up charges.) You have two options: either start your connection from another account that is authorized to do so, and then use fast user switching to get back to the guest account, or else create a limited user account for your guests to use. It will still have limited rights, but not as limited as guest, and they will be able to connect to the Internet. -- Chris Jackson Software Engineer Microsoft MVP Windows XP Associate Expert -- "oldbear31" <oldbear31@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:4f4701c3416b$320106a0$a401280a@phx.gbl... > when the Guest account opens and I try to access the web, > the ISP won't access the web.
