Limited Access Account

[Ginni]

It is my understanding that a Guest Account by default
does not have access to the internet. However, we have my
son set up using a Limited account, and he no longer can
access the internet either. I could have sworn he could
before. Am I losing it? What could ahve changed? How
can I make it so he can get to the Internet without being
an Adminstrator?
We are running XP Pro and connect through Cable Modem
Thank you!
Ginni

From your son's account: Go to start - run and type cmd. In the command
window, type ipconfig /all and post your results here. A limited user
certainly can access the Internet (I am right now - it's downright dangerous
to run as an administrator all of the time) so we need to figure out where
things are breaking down.
