internet access for multiple users

[CJ]

Limited accounts aren't able to access the internet
through IE 6.0. Can anyone help me with this? Not
getting any answers in the IE 6.0 group, so I thought I'd
try here.

A "Limited" account with it's default permissions/priviledges is not suppose to block access to the network

"Types of user accounts

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/.../xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ua_c_account_types.msp

So, since all "Limited" accounts have this issue, either the host Internet connection settings are misconfigured or somewhere in your network there's a misconfiguration. Are there any error messages? Can the "Limited" accounts even open IE? Do you have a firewall blocking outbound connections

It could be related to a "Browser Helper Object" (BHO)

"... Additionally, you logged on to the computer with a limited user account. The BHO tries to modify certain system files and Windows Registry entries that require administrative credentials to access. As a result, when the BHO cannot access these files and registry entries, Internet Explorer stops abruptly.
