Execute DUN connection as Guest Account

Win XP Pro SP1

Ive created a Guest account on this PC. As the Admin user I created a DUN to my home ISP.

The guest account cant execute this DUN connection? Why not? I have the security permissions set and when the DUN box pops up the "save UID Passwd" and the "allow anyone using this computer" check box is set.

Can the Guest account execute DUN connections? The help system says that the Guest account is for Guests to use PC resources like the internet.

p.s. I looked at Internet Connection Sharing but I dont think this is relevant because this is for other PCs using my PCs connection, this issue is for the Guest on this PC.

p.p.s. I see that if I (administrator) run the DUN connection and then switch user, the guest account can use the the internet connection. But I want the guest user to be able to connect themselves.

Many Thanks - sorry about the long message

Guest account is a built in account with certain restriction... so what would be a big deal with you making a new user account and execute DUN from there ??? you may Fidel with it and it may work in certain cases but why bother..... make a new limited access account.


cheers
