    I've set up 3 User Accounts including Guest and Admin.

    I've set up the Internet connection on the Admin and one other but for some reason, it won't allow me to make one on the Guest account. What can I do from the Admin account to allow guests to connect to the net.

    When I entered the ISP info on the Admin account, it did ask me whether I wanted to allow other users to use the net also and I replied "yes" but yet the guests still can't connect.

    There is no ISP info entered (in the guest account) and it doesn't allow me to do that either (from the guest account). How do I do it from the Admin account?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Guest and Admin were created when you installed XP. You should have a STRONG password on the admin account. You should disable the GUEST account. Create a second admin account that you will use most of the time for when you need admin priviledges. Don't forget the passwords. If you need the equivalent of a Guest account, make another user account and call it something appropriate, like ETAlien.

    The default Guest account is restricted.
