We just got new broadband service (time-warner). My wife
is the principal account and user. She is set up properly
and, other than blaster and sobig, has had no problem.

When I or my daughter start by clicking on our own account
icon,we do not connect to the internet. We get the dial-
up connect box and, even after we pick broadband
connection, the computer tries to dial up, unsuccessfuly
of course, our previous dial-up provider (earthlink).

How do I get connected properly though all three accounts?
 
Are you trying to share the broadband internet connection to the other
computers?

Are they networked together?

If you are trying to use the broadband account, then you need to go through
your wife's computer to access the connection. This is done by sharing the
internet connection on your wife's computer. Please provide some details on
your setup and we'll figure something out.
