I am having troubles that I switch from user 1 to user 2, while user 1 is connected to the internet. User 2 cna not access the dial up connection and when I switch back to user 1, the connection has been dropped

Any way around this??

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.
