Can anyone help me please? I'm getting a recurring problem getting
connected to the internet (with AOL) I get the error message 'the attempt
to connect to the AOL service has timed out (24-04-08-020) - the attempt
to establish a TCP/IP connection to the AOL service has timed out. I have
spent many hours on the phone to AOL but to no avail! I have restored
back a few days and this seems to fix the problem for a day or two, but
then it seems to go wrong again. I have tried running without firewall,
reloading the AOL software, have run virus scans and spyware. AOL have
said that there may be a problem with RAS files? I am using XP home
edition (sp2).... Please help!!!!
