Problems connecting to internet for 2nd user with XP Home

I have problems connecting to the internet or my other PC's whenever I log in
as the 2nd user. My wireless adapter doesn't won't connect to the router.
Since it works fine when I'm logged in as the first user, I don't believe
it's a problem router setup, I think it's more of a problem with the XP
settings.

Does anyone have any ideas about what settings I may have to change to make
this work?

Thanks in advance.

Is there a configuration utility for your wireless adapter? If so,
make sure that it runs automatically when the 2nd user logs in.

Steve,

Thanks for your response. I ended up deleting the 2nd user and re-adding it
to the system, and it worked fines.

Have a great day.

I'm having the same problem -- my wireless card doesn't have that ability in
its configuration menu.

Another problem with multiple users on my other computer is their ability to
print on the attached printers - not networked. Any suggestions on that
frong either?
