QUESTION POSED ON: 15 March 2002
I have a small LAN specified just for Internet services. I want users to access Internet services like browsing and chatting without login onto the network resources. By that I mean, if the login window for entering their name and password appears, then they can just click cancel. Is this possible?

Unfortunately the answer is no. On a Windows NT/2000/XP system, a user needs to log on to the system. If you want them to have very limited access, perhaps you can create a guest account for them to use that has very limited permissions. In fact, just enough permission to perform Internet browsing and chatting.
