Dial up connection between users is lost!

[Guest]

Sometimes when I switch from one user to another my dial up connection is lost. This is a real pain because the modem has to re-dial to get back to the internet. We have four users on our computer. It doesn't happen every time. I would say nine out of ten times when we switch users the connection is lost. Can anyone help?

If you're using Fast user switching this might work for you:

This will keep your connection open even between user
switching. Be sure to make a backup of your registry before
attempting this if you have no experience doing this.
