I want to set up a guest account on my XP laptop for a visitor to use, but I
can't figure out how to allow the guest account wireless access. Can
somebody help me? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. As you can see from my new post, I'm still having
problems getting internet access when I created a new (non-guest) account.
In fact, I set the account up as an admin, and I can see that it has wireless
connectivity, but something is blocking access to all websites.
