I HAVE HAD 3 COMPUTERS NETWORKED FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND EACH TIME MICROSOFT
DOES A NEW UPDATE A WAR ERUPTS BETWEEN NORTON AND MICROSOFT ON WHO HAS
CONTROL. IT SHOULD DEFAULT TO THE CONTROL THAT WAS THERE BEFORE THE UPDATE.
WITH LATEST UP DATE JUNUARY 9 IT IS WORSE THAN THIS. I CANNOT EVEN ESTABLISH
A NETWORK THAT CAN TALK TO ITSELF. IT WORKS BEFORE I RESTART THE COMPUTERS
BUT SHORTLY AFTER RE-STARTING THEY NO-LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO THE WORKGROUPS.
DOES ANYONE HAVE SOLUTION?

Yesterday I bought a Linksys WAG54G Wireless-G ADSL Gateway and a Wireless-G
adapter at Comet. I wanted to set up a wireless network for my laptops Soy
Vaio and top range Packard bell. I am on AOL Platinum and my operating
system is XP. I tried the quick set up - conection protocol - PPoA, VPI - 0,
VCI - 38. I even set up new screen name and remembered to use lower case for
name and password and included @aol.com afterscreen name. No joy! I phoned
the Linksys technical helpline and was on for 35 minutes but that didn't work
either and the technical assistant gave up on me. I have tried all day today
but still no joy. Sometimes I can get a network established but can't get
the internet. This is so frustrating. The wireless network (when
established is good but why oh why can't I get AOL or internet explorer?). I
am not an expert but am not completely computer illiterate. Can someone give
me step by step instructions as to how to set up a wireless network and get
AOL and iternet explorer. PLEASE

Asked here, answered here. For everybody's benefit.
Is AOL your primary ISP, or are you getting BYOA? Connections for both differ.
I'm not sure that AOL supports use of a router.
Try and diagnose the problem. Is the router not connecting to AOL, or is your
computer unable to connect to the router? Are you connecting wirelessly to the
router to set it up (not a good idea). Have you tried doing the setup and
initial debugging while wired? Have you looked at the router activity logs to
see if it is ever connecting to AOL?
If not completely computer illiterate, have you considered getting Internet
service from another ISP? To quote another helper in another forum:
"If it hurts every time you poke yourself in the eye with a sharp stick
(AOHELL), the obvious solution is to quit poking yourself in the eye with a
sharp stick (AOHELL).
If you absolutely MUST poke yourself in the eye with a sharp stick (AOHELL),
then feel free to seek assistance from the maker of the sharp stick (AOHELL)."
