I have my PC set up with two user accounts, one for
personal the other for business. Is there any way to keep
the internet connection when changing users? Everytime I
log off from one account to the other, I lose the internet
connection and need to reconnect.

Click to expand...

1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Right click the dial-up connection.
3. Click Properties.
4. Click Options.
5. Put a check mark in the box "Prompt for name and password,
certificate, etc".
6. Click OK.
7. Double click the connection.
8. Put a check mark in the box "Save this user name and password for
the following users".
9. Click "Anyone who uses this computer".
10. Click Dial.

After that, the connection will stay open when switching users. You
can go back to step 5 and un-check the box if desired.
