Everything seems to be working fine in first user account, and that user can access the internet. However, in the second account, there is no internet.
The second user has admin privileges as well.

to clarify- this is on the same hard drive - first user name no probs. Second user has connection permissions under users and groups as well.– ron oFeb 22, 2011 at 14:16

If you look into the network-manager (as the user with working network):
System -> Administration -> Network
Then select your current network connection and make sure that Available to all users is checked.
