i dunno if this will work, but you go
start > logoff > switch user
to my knowledge, this doesn't log the other user off, it just logs into another account

k thx for ur suggestions guys...
i got it working.
what you have to do is:
- make sure you have the same connection/settings in both accounts(which i had)
- set it as the default connection in both accounts (i only had it as default in mine)
- check "always dial my default connection"(i had "dial whenever a network connection is not present)
after doing all that, simply go to Log Off> Switch user, and if all of the above is the same in both accounts, she'll be shweet!;)
:cheers:

i have tried this method, and it does not seem to work.
all 3 user accounts have Telstra as the default connection, and its set to always dial the default connection in all accounts. a shortcut is in the "All Users" profile. do i have to make a new connection in every account for this to work?

just an idea..
try right clicking "my network places"
double click on ur connection(while u are offline)
and see if u have "save this user name and password for the following users is checked.." and under that..."anyone who uses this computer"
good luck....
