I'm trying to help a friend with an issue - I've read some posts
regarding giving a guest acct access to internet but nothing about
the opposite. There are 3 accts; administrator, limited and guest.
Only the guest acct can access the internet. For the other two
accts, when you click on IE it doesn't connect. There is a NetNanny
type program loaded but this seems like a weird way for it to be
configured. Could this be the problem? He is going to uninstall
that program but I wanted to see if anyone else had or has ever heard
of this particular issue. He uses XP Home. Thanks!

Well, since nothing native is going to be blocking this, I would have to
suspect the net-nany program. Unload/disable it and test.
