It does, but I can not figure out how to allow the Guest to
use the internet to log on and check email, the dialer
(this is a dialer as my ISP uses the network and internet
connections setup, no software) but if you double click the
dialer, nothing happens, right click the dialer and all
options are grey, and recreating the dialer does not work,
I am still overlooking something how to allow the guest
account to use the dialer and still maintain mimimal
"power" with the system.

Thanks
