Every time I switch between users (I have fast user switching enabled) I
lose my Internet connection. I'm sure that this didn't happen before. It's a
real pain since if I'm downloading something and my kids use my PC then the
download is stopped.

Any ideas how I get fix this?

Cheers.

Thanks v much. That appears to work. In fact, I didn't get the usual "do you
want to disconnect" dialogue - it just switched to the welcome screen and
then disconnected whenever I logged in as someone else. But this has fixed
it. Cheers.
