I just set up my computer with XP Home. I like the
multiple user functionality but I am having a hard time
sharing my interent connection between the "guest"
account and my account. Upon activiting the guest
account, I chose the option to make my files private,
etc. I don't think this should make a big deal but it
could be the dilema. When I have guests log on they
aren't able to utilize my dial up connection. I have
searched all over in help files as emachines customer
service. Is there a way for me to share the dial up
connection as I can't create one from the guest account.
Any advice would be helpful! Please email at the above or
post. Thanks for any help!
