We have 3 users on the same computer. I am the main user
and I can connect to the internet. However, if I log off
from my user page, so another user can log into his page,
the internet connection always turns off, so that the new
user has to always reconnect. What can I do so that the
internet always stays on, regardless of what user is on?

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.
