How can I keep my connection to the internet via dialup
when I change between users in the same pc (without
closing the session of course)?
 
What happens when the secondary user(s) tries to connect
via their own dialup - can they connect OK then?

Is the secondary user account(s) set to "Admin" or
to "Limited"?

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.
