Quite a while ago I created a user account called Myguest, with no
password, on my WindowsXP Pro. I recall I managed to limit access to
drives and folders that I didn't want someone prying into. I use a
Windows2000-type login where the users don't show and you have to know
user names as well as their passwords.

I got thinking that I'd like to perhaps allow someone to check their
email via the internet while at my home. When I went into Myguest just
now I found that there was no internet connect when I tried to use IE.
I have Verizon broadband that I installed sometime after I created the
Myguest account, it doesn't show in the user account Myguest. If I CAN
somehow use my Adminstrator privilege to run the 'New Network Wizard'
within Myguest, would that be the way to do it? Or can I somehow go
into Network Connections when I'm in my main account and designate
Myguest as a worthy user?

The user should have access to the internet once they logon and use Internet
Explorer assuming it is configured correctly but that usually happens
automatically. The exception would be if you have some sort of third part
program restricting the user account. Try creating a new user account to see
what happens. --- Steve
