Does anyone know how I can set up a new internet
connection within the guest account window? When I try, I
get a response that tells me I must be an administrator
to set up a new connection. The problem is, I can't even
change the guest account to "administrator" as this
option is not available. I already have an internet
connection on my own user account but it apparently
doesn't roll over to the guest account by default. Any
suggestions? Thanks!

Kelly has a section on getting the Guest account an internet connection.

Darcy,

Guest account, by design cannot connect to internet. Cannot initialize a RAS
connection. But it can use an already ON cable/dsl/lan or already connected
dial-up account using Fast user Switching.

Dial-up connections might terminate while switching users, to prevent that
