user account won't connect to internet
I have a user account that is a "startup" account that I use most of the time. I have no problems at all connecting to the internet when I am logged on to that account.
I created another user account for my daughter and made it a limited account. She couldn't connect to the internet through the account, so I changed it to an administrator account just to see if that would help, but she still can't connect. Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
thanks in advance for any help.

Now what I did to fix it just now, I went to
Start
Run
CMD, Ok
I then typed in
ipconfig /release
Your internet will completely turn off. I say leave it off for about 5 to 10 minutes..or over night or something. Then after a while of waiting, go back to the command prompt
Start
Run
CMD, Ok
Then type in
ipconfig /renew
And it worked! Connect to the internet, it may say you arent connected, click connect and it should work.
Hope it helps, since it just worked for me
