Using Windows XP Home
================

I have two internet, network connections - 1 DSL, and 1 dial up. They work
fine from administrative user accounts, but not from limited users accounts.
If I log
into a limited users account and then click on Start, Connect To, and then
click on one of those two network connections they do not work. What do I
need to change so that my limited users can access the internet? (Making them
adminstrators is not an option.
