Hey, i've got a fairly simple question...(i hope) i'm
setting up a guest account for my sister but when she
logs in, she cant access the net and the dial up
connection window doesnt pop up. As a guest, you get no
options to set up a new connection and as an
administrator you dont have this option to set up guest
account connections....any ideas?
 
Hi Luke,

Guest account, by design cannot connect to internet. Cannot initialize a RAS
connection. But it can use an already ON cable/dsl/lan or already connected
dial-up account using Fast user Switching.

Dial-up connections might terminate while switching users, to prevent that

[Or, set the other user account as "Limited" as Rick said.]
