How the hell do you make AOL work with an internal Wireless connection?

Question

I have a Netgear hub, sent to me from AOL...and I have a HP Pavilion ZV6000 laptop...I can see the wireless network in XP, but AOL cant connect to the internet with the network...any ideas?

Answer 1

No idea, sorry, but I can tell
you that AOL sucks.
I had so many problems with them over the past 2 years that I phased out using them entirely.
Use your internet explorer and Yahoo! for your home page and life on the internet will become much easier.
Good Luck.

Answer 2

Either you have a firewall settings that is blocking your computer form access to the Inernet, or you do not have a DNS computer set up. Go into your firewall and make sure that your browser is listed in the "exceptions" so that it has rights to the Internet. If that does not work, go into the properties of the wireless connection, and under TCP/IP, enter the address of your router as the address for the DNS server.

Answer 3

Call aol customer service .

Then ask them How the hell do you make aol work with an internal wireless connection

Answer 4

ditch AOL and use IE. if the router is set up correctly, anyone can connect to it

better still, ditch AOL completely because it is the worst thing to have on a computer, they are the worst providers in the world and have the biggest comlaints record of any in the world

Answer 5

AOL is cack...(being polite) they dont allow any foreigners into there systems so you cant use anything other than AOL on any of the wireless networked computers.
