Sorry, forgot it was ADSL :dunce:

Re: Internet disconects when switching user XP Home
 

No need for the apology, I forgot to say it was a modem as well.

Re: Internet disconects when switching user XP Home
 

So the problem here is that the other user accounts cannot access the wireless router? Can you ping from the user account that cannot browse? Is the other user acount set to use the same network connection information as your fathers account?

TBH at this moment I couldn't tell you. He's out playing snooker and I'm sat at mine drinking ale!

I will ask him to ping tomorrow.

Cheers.

Right, just got off the phone to him.

My Mum's account gets a connection to the router. However, IE won't let her into the router or onto the net.

It mentions a problem with the access control list.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

Re: Internet disconects when switching user XP Home
 

Can it not ping past the router then? Are we looking at XP home or Pro here and can you get us the complete error message?

Re: Internet disconects when switching user XP Home
 

Will come back with full details. They've gone out now.

Re: Internet disconects when switching user XP Home
 

When they come back can you find out the following
XP home or Pro.
What sort of account is it that is not connecting? (user, admin etc)
What settings are in use on the connections tab of Internet Explorer's Internet Properties.
Can the account without internet access ping past the router?
What does that account get when you run a cmd box and type ipconfig /all
If an error message occurs at all what is it? (might be viewable in event viewer.)
If it's a restricted acount has anyone tried running IE as the admin? (Right click the desktop icon and choose "run as" and select the admin account or input the admin account user name and password)

Re: Internet disconects when switching user XP Home
 

Here's what I know anyway.

XP Home.
Admin.

Re: Internet disconects when switching user XP Home
 

So the computer is set to have 2 admin accounts?
Have you tried creating a new user to rule out profile problems?

Re: Internet disconects when switching user XP Home
 

Wil try that.
