User Profile blocks internet access

I've just upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. I've successfully
configured the Administrator to get access to the internet but all other
users can't gain access to the internet. If I change a user profile to give
them administrator rights they can access the internet. How can I amend the
local user access rights to give them internet access without making them an
administrator?
 
What exactly happens?? Any particular message such as access denied or
such?? Are they denied access to Internet Explorer or all or certain
websites? Look in Event Viewer to see if anything is recorded in the
application or system logs. --- Steve
 
My experience has been that every user on Windows 2000 needs admin privilege
to make it through the Internet Connection wizard for the very first internet
access. My normal practice has been to give the user account admin privilege,
log on using that account, access a safe site (e.g., microsoft.com), then
drop the account back to the correct privilege level.
