Bod,

Unfortunatly you can't establish Internet connections from within the
Limited User Accounts'. This is a security feature built into Windows XP.
You could consider making the users administrators/ or some intermediate
account type and apply a policy to the accounts, using something like Doug's
Security Console App:

Hope this helps
