How can I connect to the internet under my guest profile?

I just got the Verizon DSL installation package yesterday at my home. When I boot my PC up, I have it come to my "administrator" or "guest" profile choices to log on.

Me being the head owner of the PC, I use the "administrator" choice which prompts you to enter a password before logging on to the desktop.

I done this and installed the Verizon DSL package last night. I ended up being able to connect to the internet fine.

HOWEVER, when I logged off (disconnected from my "administrator" profile) I then logged on by using the "guest" profile. I got some kind of Verizon problem window popping up saying there was some type of DUN error (I don't know what that means). End result is that I cannot get connected under the "Guest" profile in Windows XP.

I have had Comcast cable internet for the past 2 years without a problem between switching from "administrator" or "guest" log on profiles. I called Verizon but the support person could not figure out why I cannot connect to the DSL internet under the Guest profile. He then said I should contact Microsoft or Hewlett-Packard!! If I call HP, they want a $30 charge for out of warranty problems. Rediculous.

Can anyone help with this problem?
