Sharing The Same DSL connection with Admin Acct & Guest Acct.

I'm having trouble getting my guest account internet connection set up. I have only one computer & want to set up a guest account with internet access ?

Not exactly sure what I need to do ? I just know that when I log on to the guest account & click on the dsl connection it says you are not the Admin. etc. etc...

Do I need to set up an entirely new connection for the guest account ?

Please Help !

Guest account can't dial to the internet, nor initiate a PPP-OE. But Limited users can. Or, connect to internet using a limited or administrator level account and switch to guest account, in order to access internet.

In that case, see:
Keep a Dial-Up Connection Open for All Users:
