Pappa, the only way I could configure my router was to phone aol and let them talk you throgh. It took them about 20 minutes and was sorted.

Good luck

Internet Explorer works fine, get on any site inc AOL thru IE but i cant access aol directly!!!!!

i get an error message 'AOL cannot connect to the internet'

the modem is a NETGEAR DG834GT WIRELESS ROUTER/MODEM

been thru all the settings, both modem and AOL.

i'm both at a loss and at the end of my teather.
