Default account user's accessibilty to internet

We have 2 user accounts. I am able to access the
internet (AOL) through my user account, but my husband
cannot through his user account. Is there a solution?

Do you mean two accounts on the computer, or two AOL login accounts? If
you only have one AOL login, you should have the option to share that
Network Connection with all users on the computer. However, if AOL
software is dialing the connection for you, it might be trickier to
enable this. Since i don't know AOL, someone else will have to help in
that course.

If you connect manually, meaning you have Windows dial and connect to
your AOL account, you should see a dialog window when you connect that
shows you "Save this user name and password for the following users:"
and below that two or more options. Choose "All users" or whatever is
appropriate to include you and your husband. Click Dial to save that
setting. Your husband should now be able to access that network connection.

If the modem automatically dials when you connect to AOL, you'll need to
change the properties of the connection. If you need those details, post
again.
