Switch Users > Modem Hangs Up?

I'm using a dial-up arrangement for Internet access.
Whenever I switch users the modem (I assume - maybe it is
something within Vista?) disconnects, and I have to connect
again as the other user. I'd like to be able to switch
users and keep the connection open, so that both users can
access the Internet and do their email.

Ideas on how this might be done?

Best regards to all.

If you are only getting this problem after sending emails, and depending
what email acount you are using outlook or outlook express.
For outlook express open email tools>options>connections and if in the dial
up section has tick in hang up after sending and receiving untick and apply
and try again.

For outlook open email tools>opions> mail setup then at the bottom the same
as above. see how you go let me know if this helps you.

Many regards

No, not the problem. I can send emails all day on either
account without losing the connection. As soon as I log out
(using START > Switch Users) of one account the connection
is lost.

That option has not been enabled since I received the
computer.

Well, it didn't solve the problem, but I was getting
discouraged that no one had addressed my issue. Now I know
at least one person has tried. Thank you.

Best regards.
