Switch user and keep internet connection

Hiya everyone,
I'm running Vista Ultimate with a Maxon USB wireless broadband connection.
When I'm connected and then switch user, I have to reconnect again. This is
very frustrating, and quite unnecessary I feel.
How do I get around this please? Is it to do with sharing or the public
folder? I don't really understand the sharing concept, as I've never
bothered with different users before, but now I'm obliged to.
Thanks to all and any opinions.

Pebble

What exactly are you connecting to? A router or a DSL device? Do you have
to actually log on, as in provide a username and password?

How you get around it is likely in the options for the network adapter
driver, which is likely not a part of Vista.

Thanks Patrick,
The internet connection is a USB wireless broadband, it does have a
password, but I don't need to use the password to connect, just click the
connect button, but when I switch user the connection is lost and have to
click connect again.
