Re: Problem: No Network Connections under Guest Account

When you create a network connection it asks you if you want to make it
available to everyone or just your account so my guess is that you selected
your account only. Offhand I don't know how to fix that other then deleting
the network connection and creating again selecting the option to make it
available for all users. Having said that I would get a very affordable
internet router [Linksys, D-Link, Netgear, etc] to connect to your DSL
modem. That would make your internet connection seamless and also provide
firewall protection for your network. At least for blocking traffic that is
not in response to traffic initiated by your computer known or unknown to
you. It is too easy for a software/host firewall to become disabled or
misconfigured which can cause BIG headaches.

I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2 and have two user accounts... mine
(administrator) and guest (enabled).

Problem I'm experiencing is that the guest account does not show any of
the
network connections (comes up as "empty") and, as a result, guests must
use
my admin account on my pc in order to access the internet.

I'm using DSL without a problem with my administrator account. Would like
to
be able to add this nextwork connection (DSL) to my guest account.

Again, when I log onto the Guest account and look under Network
Connections
(Start>Settings>Network Connections) the sub-menu comes up as empty.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mark
