When using the switch user function, the wireless internet gets disconnected.
meaning from "user1", i switch user to "user2", and when i get back to
"user1", i realise that the wireless internet for "user1" has been
disconnected.
what settings can be done to allow the internet to be still connected when i
switch user?
Open internet connections on the good user,write down the properties data
from the properties box,set other to same if diffrent.Also,chk windows
components
from add/remove programs,make sure all boxes are checked as needed..

Internet Connections ( Local Area Network and Wireless ) are global.
They do not arbitrarily work for one profile and not another.
Do you actually think before responding. You needlessly send posters
off on non-relevant operations that do not help. Why would Add/Remove
programs make any difference at all. If that was the cause then NO
network would function for any profile. Also saying check boxes and
providing no list or suggestions of which boxes to check is worthless.

I recently had this issue with a client, who installed the Wireless
manufacturer Utility to manage the connection, while the Windows Zero
configuration (WZC) was ON.
Both the manufacturer and WZC were conflicting and making the Wireless lose
connection on start or after a while of usage.
Try to Disable the WZC if you have the wireless Adapter/USB or whatever kind
of wireless manufacturer utility installed and Also be sure the Wireless
Utility for the manufacturer is Auto running in the servcies.
If you have just the windows Wireless utility to manage the wireless
connection then proceed:
Try this:
Open a Run Command and type in:
services.msc click [OK].
On the services control Panel scroll down to Windows Zero Wireless
configuration and Be sure the service to start Automatically instead of
manually.
Click Ok then close the services control panel window and Reboot and see if
the service will hold it's settings to Auto.
Another option to consider is if the computer been configured to Turn off
the device for power saving and you can check that through device manager and
right click on the wireless connection and select properties then click on
Power management , make sure this check box not checked:
[ ] Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
Reboot your machine and see if the machine will hold the wireless connection.
Another if your neighbour using the same wireless channel which can affect
your wireless connection if it wasn't set properly in the first place.

for the first method which you have stated, the configuration had been set
before, and did not help in the problem.
i tried the second method, indeed the box was checked. i un-checked it and
restarted my com. the problem still existed. meaning when i switch user and
switch back, the wireless would show "Wireless connection has limited or no
connectivity".
are there any other solutions?

If you go back to User 1, does the wireless connection eventually appear?

well, i did not wait long enough to see if it will get connected again.
it seems to be always showing that the wireless has limited or no
connectivity, and what i'll do is to disable and enable the wireless(using
the switch at the side of my laptop).
hope that answers your question.

Hi Ben,
It will be helpful if you mentioned more about your Connection settings and
the hardware involved!
Try this:
= Click Start >> Control panel >> Network and Internet Connections >> Double
click Network connections, then right your LAN Icon and select Properties.
On the LAN properties under General make sure the Internet Protocol TCP/IP
is selected and click Properties.
There make sure the Machine Get assigned Automatically IP address and Renter
the Encryption Key and the Network SSID then click
[OK].
= Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced.
Click on Connections tab and make sure the Connection is listed there then
click on LAN settings button and uncheck Automatically detect settings.
Click [OK] and close Hit F5 and open a run command and type in:
ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]
ipconfig /renew click [OK]
netsh winsock reset click [OK]
Make sure the machine up2date and malware/virus free by scanning with an
up2date security software.
HTH.
