    Vista's network connection and guest accounts.

    Hello!

    I am using Vista b5487 and noticed the guest account do not have network
    connection. I see a red X network icon in my system tray with its hover
    text "... Access is denied."

    How can I give this one access?

    Thank you in advance.

    Using build 5384.4, the Guest account has the red x over the network icon,
    but internet and network access is there. The inbuilt Guest account has
    restrictions on it, but is able to view network computers and use the
    internet.
