I have 3 kids sharing a stand alone computer with XP pro
on it. Is it possible to keep the dial-up connection
connected when they change between their individual user
accounts?? Currently when they switch users, the internet
connection goes away
Log in as a user with Administrator privileges and follow these steps:
1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Right click the dial-up connection.
3. Click Properties.
4. Click Options.
5. Put a check mark in the box "Prompt for name and password,
certificate, etc".
6. Click OK.
7. Double click the connection.
8. Put a check mark in the box "Save this user name and password for
the following users".
9. Click "Anyone who uses this computer".
10. Click Dial.
After that, the connection will stay open when switching users. You
can go back to step 5 and un-check the box if desired.
