Switch WIN XP users looses internet connection

[John mackay]

Hi

I have just set up new users on my XP home PC. When I did it first the
machine used to hold my internet connection whilst changing accounts. Now
for some reason it has started to disconnect when I log out or switch users.
I dont think I did anything as I liked it to stay connected.

Any one any ideas what has happened? I can't find anything in Windows help

Thanks

Open the attached file "Enable_KeepRasConnections.reg", answer Yes to enable
keeping connection connected when logging off or switching users.
"Disable_KeepRasConnections.reg" will disable the setting

OR below is the manual way of doing it

Open up the Registry Editor

Start > Run
regedit.exe

Goto

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Look for
KeepRasConnections
If not there, right click in the right pane New > String Value
name it
KeepRasConnections
give it a value of 1 to enable or 0 to disable
