Network problem with limited user accounts

I have a an XP pro SP2 system with 2 user accounts set up as limited access accounts with no passwords. On starting the machine and choosing either one of these 2 accounts the wireless network adaptor obtains an IP address from the router but then there is no more data transfer over the network - I've tried pinging the router as a low level test and this time's out.

If I change the accounts to administrator I have no problems.

What is the cause and is there a solution other upgrading account privilages.

Thanks
 
Are you sure that you've included these limited accounts as users, and not guests? (User management console).

Also, start looking through the local security policies (GPEDIT.msc) to ensure that users have the access needed for the OS to work properly.

I would also suggest making passwords for these accounts before letting them on the internet. Just breaths trouble.
