I recently purchased a new PC with Windows XP Home. I set up for 4 users and then loaded tiscali broadband while in my own user area.
How do I make internet access available to the other users from their own areas? I am sure there is a simple solution to those

Whenever you want to install something that all users of the computer will
be able to use, you should be logged on under the "Administrator" account
when you do the installation.

If you were & still have problems let us know.

Also some ideas on different scenerios here:

Hi jephree
thanks for the reply. I was logged on as a computer administrator. In fact all 4 of us have the title "computer administrator". Still no luck though!!

There is a "built-in" Administrator account. One you did not create.
If you created four then there are five. Anyway if you set up the connection thru the "built-in" account & set it for all users it should have done so.

The only way to access the built-in Administrator account, in XP Home, is via Safe Mode. (Tapping F8 after Computer Logo Screen (or BIOS POST)). Once you've booted in Safe Mode, press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the welcome screen, if necessary, and enter Administrator and the password. You can change the password from the Control Panel, Users and Accounts applet. Setup your connection here.




On another hand: have you tried setting up the account for each user individually?
