user permissions

[Guest]

i am unable to go out to the internet with a user account and with the guest account, i have other users including the adminstrator account that are able to go out. what restrictions do i need to take off in order to allow access with this account. these accounts are on xp professional and are all on the same pc.

thanks

Jeff,

Guest account, by design cannot connect to internet. Cannot initialize a RAS connection. But it can use an already ON cable/dsl/lan or already connected dial-up account using Fast user Switching.

Dial-up connections might terminate while switching users. To prevent that, download:

I have a dsl line directly connected to my pc. It uses PPPoE to connect. I have two users that are administrators and one that is a regular user. When i made a new user, the user was unable to connect to the internet.

Also from what u said previously i can connect the guest account using Fast user switching.... i am sorry i am not familiar with that...

thank you for helping me with this
