How to allow customers using my laptop to access the internet?

as an administrator of this computer how to let guests have access to the internet by using the dial-up usb modem or wireless?

I suggest that you leave the guest account disabled and create a standard user account for your guests with no password or a simple that you tell the guest needed.  Guest accounts more easily usable by hackers to access the system.  As a standard user account, it must have access to the internet unless you configired the system to restrict access to administrators or users - and I suspect you did not have that.  If the internet is not connected, you may need to do that yourself, because you can not disclose the user name and password to someone else (and if it is set to auto mode, it will use the guest account information which will be wrong). Once connected, simply use Internet Explorer without any problem.  It should work with USB modem or wireless - any network you choose to use.

I hope thi helps.

Good luck!

  • How can I allow one of my children to use local applications, while temporarily blocking his access to the Internet and while allowing children to continue to access the Internet?

    I have three children who have separate user accounts on our two computers. Both computers running Windows 7 Home Premium edition. We use Windows Live Family Safety on each computer to our parental controls for defining when and what each child can access. We used the period of parental control feature to block every child signed to computers, except when we allow. (It would be nice if we could block a computer and allow them to use the other.)

    However, I can't find a way to allow a child to not use the computer for local activities (for example, Microsoft Word), while blocking its access to the Internet. I also want to allow his brothers to continue to use the Internet during this time.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    Windows parental control have no option to directly block access to the internet in a Windows user account, because the system needs to provide activity reports. To work around the problem, you can block all internet browsers available for this user account so that the child have no way to access the internet. Restriction of the app to access the control that installed programs on the computer children.  Here are the detailed steps to block some apps:

    1. on any computer, log on to the parent account for http://fss.live.com

    2. click Edit settings under the name of the child you want to change the settings and then click the App restrictions.

    3. check the circle next to turn on the restrictions of the app.

    4. check all programs related to access to the internet or type the application in the area of Search apps .

    5. check the box next to the application or the program once it appears in the list.

    6. click on Save.

    This settings apply only to that specific user account. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

    Thank you!

  • I can't access the internet with IE 11 on my PC so I would like to download Firefox on my laptop and install it on my PC. I have been using Firefox on my laptop.

  • Can someone tell me how I can access the internet on my laptop to someone else's House?

    I want to take my computer on a visit, I can access the internet at home someone else with their supplier?

    Hi Huw,

    If it is a WIFI connection and they provide the access codes and Setup appropriate (and maybe even if they are not depending on how they are configured), it should be no problem.  You will probably need to create a new connection to connect to their network and possibly another new connection to connect to internet (if they are separated).  I created portable work of my wife to work from home in less than 5 minutes.

    If you need to connect with a cable, then you need a cable and they need a way to connect to their network or their internet connection or even a computer connected to the internet connection can be used by ICS to give you access (even once, after you have setup the proper connections and codes installation).

    The following may or may not be of help (although designed for Vista, you can get the general idea on their part and XP and W7will be similar and you should be able to work out the differences - if not, look how configure wireless internet access in "The BONES" of aid):

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    My laptop is down the internet connection several times daily. I can usually restore the connection to solve the problem. It restores the connection for a while but always says the same thing. «A network cable connected correctly isnot or can be broken and also problem with wireless adapter access point.» I live with 3 other people and we all use the same router and they have no problems.

    Also, my computer has some weird pink points at the top of the home screen. So sometimes when I pull up to early or a photo or something there are pink lines on the photos. No idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

    I discovered that I had the same problem of the abandonment of the Internet with HP envy. I went on the Intel site and found that they had a fix for the problem I do not know the wireless card you have that I go to your site of NIC and check and see if they have a patch for your network card. After I installed the patch for my NIC my problem disappeared. HP sent me an email with the appropriate also fix.
