Dial Up Connection Dropped when I log-off

The family laptop (xp professional) is set up for several
users, each which need to use the same internet account,
which they can do fine.

However when they log off to let 'user b' check their
email, and 'user b' logs in, the connection has been
dropped.

I have searched around for an answer but nothing has
turned up. I have tried the obvious things (including
setting the a/c to be used by anyone in the dial up
create connection prompt) but alas nothing has worked.

I would appreciate any help, as not only is it terribly
inconvenient having to redial the internet again for each
new user, but it also can be quiet expensive (those 25
cents do add up.)

Feel free to email me (obviously remove both 'remove'
which is between the 'q' and the 'uanta', and
also 'spambad' between the 'dodo' and the '.com'.

Thank you.
