Well ....... I think you are asking for problems using AOL and a dsl
connection at the same time. Use the XP PPPOE connection and the dsl will
work fine. Jym

fine until two days ago when we had a MAJOR DSL problem in SoCal. Now, when
I re-boot computer, it takes almost 1 min for my connection icon to go from
red to green. Then, when I try to sign on to AOL I get a window that says a
"new connection" is identified. YADA YADA YADA. I click "remind me
later". (This window never showed up until two days ago. And, if I click
OK, my computer searches forever but NEVER finds wether I'm on Phone, DSL,
or Cable) I can get to my financial web sites but, when I try to log in, I
can't get to "Log in Pages".
