Surely if the router is validating the account and routing the packets then it can't be a password/account issue? Can it?

Again, cheers.

User-Initiated Connections

User initiated connections include Virtual Private Networking, PPPoX and Remote Access Server (RAS) dialup connections. All user-initiated connections remain active when the Welcome screen is displayed. For many connections, if User A initiated a network connection and then User B switches on as the active session, User A's connection will be disconnected.
Always-On User-Initiated Connections

Some user-initiated network connections can remain active when users Fast User Switch from one session to another. Network connections will remain active if:

* The connection is available to all users.
* The credentials for the connection are saved.
* In Home Edition, all connections created with the New Connection Wizard are implicitly made available to all users.
just to make it a bit easier. Did your dad create the ADSL network connection via the network creation wizard as that would have made the connection available across all accounts? If not then creating the network connection in each profile and setting IE to dial it when needed should get around the problem.
