i have a problem with my internet disconnecting when i
change from my user screen to my sons user screen. This
doesnt occur when i connect to the internet in his screen
and change to mine. it also hasnt always happened - so im
thinking that i must have changed something accidentally.
this is a very annoying problem as i have to reconnect
for him to be able to be on the internet in his own user
screen. i would appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.

See http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to Keep
RAS Connection within Fast User Switching. This small utility by MVP Kelly
will allow you to make the Registry change necessary for the dialup
connection to stay active when switching users.
