Shareing the internet connection

Guest

I share my computer with a number of other users, each of
who has there own log on. I am the only one with
adminastration account. I can connect to the internet
using a BT Broadband adsl modam. However the other users
are unable to connect to the internet as the connection
is not available when they log on under there own
accounts. How can I share the internet connection with
these other users of my computer?

...So you are supposedly sharing a computer but you don't know how to spell?
ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) is designed to work BETWEEN computers, not internally. You will need to put your ADSL client on the other users accounts' and then give them the password.

A bit late with this reply I know, however...
Does Broadband work the same as my slow 'ole dial-up? i.e. Do your other users have a desktop icon to click for internet access?
If so, have they tried right clicking the icon and choose "Run As.." then selecting your name from the drop-down and entering your password?

The only drawback is that the other users have to know your password - not ideal!

Hope this helps.

Incidentally, Ag3nt, your apostrophe was in the wrong place!

"...users' accounts..." not "...users accounts'..."

Hope this helps.
