I have been using this configuration for 5 months and being logged on as
an administrator never had a problem. Today I set up a limited User account
and they can't access the Internet. Messed with it for 4 hrs with no luck.
When logged on as myself no problem. I changed the user account to an
Administrator account and it has instant Internet access. How can I give
the Limited User account Internet Access?
 
I use crappy dial up but is there a seting on you modem
that says let all users use this connection to the internet
in the properties.otherwise only administrators can use it.
 
Why would XP Pro be set up this way? I put an account on my Win2000 Pro
desktop and she can get Intenet access. Seems stupid of Microsoft to make
the OS restrict Internet Access to Local Administrators only.
