Dear all

I had setup win xp in order to share my internet
connection, dsl with other profiles on my pc without
disconnecting.

eg i log in my profile and connect to net. I remain
online on messenger and switch profile to another user on
the pc, while we both remain online.

However at this time, i always get disconnected?

Can anyone help me. I am using XP Professional, and that
was the mail reason i took xp, coz i could not do that on
2000 professional.

A friend had that setup this way on his pc, but I cannot
get it on mine.

Any help will be appreciated,

feel free to mail me on (e-mail address removed)

thank

regards
