Giving guest dialup access

[jan tanjo]

Hi guys

How do I give the guest account in Win XP dailup privilege. Guest account has no password, I've right clicked shortcut > security in my account to no avail.

This networking/account thing is so damn confusing :confused: to me.

The built in Guest account cannot access Internet using dial-up connections, by design. The Guest account can access the Internet via a LAN or "always on" connection. One workaround is to create a new user account named "AGuest" or whatever.

One more workaround, awkward IMO. First download this little program

Enable "Fast User Switching" on Windows XP.
Connect to the Internet using your Administrator or Limited account.
Use Fast User Switching to log onto the Guest account.

Thanks shanmuga

I'm going to go the new user account way
