How do I enable my internet connection for a guest account?

Hi Woodman,

a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
net user guest
c. If the account is active, a line appears in the output of the
command that is similar to the following:

Account active Yes

d. If the account is not active, use the following command to give
the Guest account network access:
net user guest /active:yes
e. The following text returns after the command:

The command completed successfully.

Hi again Bert,
I tried this and it executes as you noted but it still does not give me
internet access on the guest account. When I switch users the connection
disconnects. Do I need to restart to enable this?
Thanks,
Wayne
