View Full Version : No internet access under Limited Account

Can anyone tell me how a user with an Limited Account
under Win XP Home would now not have access to the
internet. Internet Explorer just flashes on then off. But
if I give that account Administrator privledges then it
works fine.

Creating a new Limited account results in the same thing.

Any ideas?

Limited users should be able to use any existing Internet connection,
like a broadband or dialed-up connection. They can't initiate or
terminate active connections.

However, you have to give all users access to any connectoids you
create. If they don't have permission, you have to logon to the account
that has permission (admin account) and give permission, or you have to
create another dial-up connectoid for that limited user.
