Can't access wireless using Limited Account

New to wireless - and after hours of fiddling getting my network to connect to the internet I find on the 2nd (kids only) computer only my Admin account can access it and not their limited accounts. Haven't the foggiest what I'm doing wrong because, as far as I can see, all the settings are done from within my admin account and are not accessible from theirs! Surely if one connects, they all connect?

My main computer is having no problems whatsoever!

I'm also disappointed that the 802.11g network card can't seem to connect through a couple of brick walls! I though it should do a bit better than that.

    One thing to check is that your wireless network is the default in the admin account - delete any others there, as in a limited account it may try to connect to another first?
