Webuser Forums: LAN connection problems on standard user accounts

G'day

My System is running Win 2000 SP4
My internet (broadband) works fine under the administrator login - Netgear DG834GT modem using Netgear Wireless USB adaptor.

I have just created a standard user login ( which does NOT give rights to install any programs - standard Win2000 user account option)

When I first power up my pc and login to the admin account - the LAN connection gets enabled - then if I log off the admin account and logon as the standard user - I am able to get the LAN connection working - and the internet works fine.
However if I power up my pc and login first as the standard user, the LAN connection is disabled and I am unable to enable this - unless I login as an administrator once.

Is there a way to enable this under the user account - without compromising the other restrictions relating to this user account?

Thanks for your help

I
