Internet Connection - multi users on one computer.. how to access?

I've been using Administrator Account to login to my Vista Home Premium. I've
set up 2 internet connections using this account - 1 dialup, 1 broadband.
Everything works fine.

Today I set up a new user account as Standard Account on my PC. After
setting it up, I logged into Vista with that account but could not find
either of the 2 internet connections I had set up.

I switched user and logged in as Administrator. Found the 2 internet
connections, and attempted to make them useable by "Anyone who uses this
computer". However, they radio button for this option is greyed out and
cannot be selected.

My question is.. how can i make existing connections created using
administrator account, be useable by standard accounts?

I've tried a workaround which is to delete those connections and recreate
them after i've created the standard account.. but the problem is that in the
network status (down bottom-right at status bar), it shows a different name
than what i've put for the new connection.. eg. Broadband becomes Broadband 2.
