Permission for New Connection

[Guest]

Hello all!

I am running Windows XP SP2 that is being delivered via imaging to my
end users using sysprep. We only allow our users to be power users and
DO NOT want to make them adminstrators. It seems from my investigations
that you must be an administrator on a local machine in order to create
new network connections (like dial up to the internet, etc). Does
anyone know how I can give the power user group permission to create
network connections without making them administrators?

Thanks,

Add your users to the Network configuration operators
group.. that could be the solution.

Regards.
