Actually, if you open up TCP/IP there is anitem in the edit menu for user mode. Select "Advanced" and you get a box in the lower right called Options.... Click that and then unselect the option "Load only when needed". That makes TCP/IP active all the time. You can then switch back to Basic user mode if you like.
