Re: 32-bit TCP/IP Connection

Brian,
Hope your weekend went better than mine. Unfortunately ended up too busy to
try the uninstall on MCAfee yet.
Regarding my Network conncections though - first off, I use AOL on Dial-up
so here's what in my connections:
Dial -UP American Online - disconnected - Contextant SmartHSFi V92 56K
SVCamera - disconnected - Conextant SmartHSFi V92 56K
LAN or High-Speed Interet - Local Area Connection - Disabled - Intel(R)
Pro/100 VE Network...
On the LAN connction properties, the TCP/IP service is check marked.
When I right-click on AOL only the AOL connection setup screen pops-up.

I use AOL SE w/TopSpeed and have had no problems with it until now. I don't
use their free firewall (which is McAfee, by the way) because my subscription
hasn't run out yet, I do use the SP#M control and pop-up blocker, I don't
have the Microsoft XP Firewall turned on, I do use SpyBot S & D, AdAware SE
and recently installed Microsoft Anti-Spyware - this problem started before I
loaded the MS Anti-spyware. There are no virus', trojans, spyware on my
machine.

I've never understood why the AOL Dial-Up connection has always shown that
it's disconnected - that's one of the things about AOL I dislike - it's so
darn proprietary, I wish it would just setup with the operating system like a
good child should. And as you can probably guess, though it's showing
disconnected - I AM online right now. Makes you crazy.

Gotta get to my real job - I'll let you know when I get a chance to
uninstall the McAfee firewall.
