Can't connect to wireless connection in guest account

Hi,

 

I just installed XP SP3 and I don't know if this is because of that but now when I login to the guest account I don't see any connection in "Network Connections". I don't see 1394 or LAN or wireless; its just empty. I tried hitting Fn+F2 to enable/disable wireless but it didn't help. I dont see the LAN or wireless icons in the system tray.

 

Can you please help me? This is really inconvenient when I have a guest around and they want to use the internet.

 

Thanks!

Rather than using the Guest account, create a new limited account for guests and turn off the Guest account.  Let us know if that works.

Hi Steve,

 

Thank you so much. That worked. I did what you said and I saw all connections and was able to connect to internet. However I would still like to use the default Guest account as that is more limited. Moreover I was previously able to connect to the internet in that account; I don't know what happened suddenly.

 

Should I simply use this limited account?

 

Thanks!
