Do your 2 limited user accounts have any "network"
settings - i.e. TCP/IP?

Did you also check in IE under Tools, Options, Connections?

yes, In my 2 limited users account I have network
connection, cause when I check in my network properties
it show it's working find. I still can check my emails
with both outlook express and outlook, I can even play
games - i.e. Backgammmon. but the only thing that I
can't access is internet through IE. it gives my "The
Page cannot be displayed" all the time.

I have a DHCP cable connection, I did check in IE option, connection, LAN,
and then I checked the "automatically detect settings". But still no sign
of internet access.

1. Load up Internet Explorer
2. Click on Tools, Options
3. Click on Connections
4. Tick 'Always dial my connection'
(make sure the connection is shown in the box above)
5. Click OK

Seems there are a lot of people having this problem and no good answers out there. Months ago I was able to access the Internet from both users on the same machine using IE. One account was admin the other was limited -- didn't matter -- both had access. Somewhere along the way, the user who logs on first is the only one who can access the Net via IE. I've searched and searched -- but no quick fix. Hence, I loaded Netscape -- and now both can access the Net [but only the first person to log on can be the one using IE!!!]. Go Microsoft!!!
