Does AOL have more than PPPoE for authentication? If it is just PPPoE there are routers that will connect, (sorry don't know models and brands off hand) but honestly, it would be cheeper just to set up a Linux box with IP masquerading, hook it up to a hub on one end and the DSL on the other, (there are several linux PPPoE clients available) if AOL doesn't use true PPPoE, I guess you might be out of luck. If you are a human, if figure you can figure out to remove no spam from my email address, if you arn't you won't be able to send me email. Dave

Same thing here. I have the Broadband Blaster DSL modem from AOHELL and a Gigafast EE400-RP. I wanted to get my wife's computer online also.... Unfortunatly I bought her computer for an inexpensive price but have to sign on with AOL for 2yrs. So I thought the DSL would be great. NOT, those guys need to find out a little something called "CUSTOMER SERVICE" or how about this phrase "THE CUSTOMERS COME FIRST". Of course that is how they generate there revenue, from us. But if they keep it up, no one will want there service if every other DSL or CABLE provider will let you. By the way I did find out that you can try to set both computers up directly through ethernet card and network them and then try to confiqure it so that comp two can access Explorer or Netscape.... Just haven't figured that one out also.

i hate aol. i have the same problem at one of my client sites, and can see many more comeing like that soon. aol customer support is a joke, there job is to make something up, stick to it as if it were biblical law, just to get you off the phone to try there made up tatic for hours before you prove it dosent work, then you have to call back and hear there next retarded made up verbal diarea!! ive seen on many sites that state AOL has a modified version of pppoe, and it wont work with any nat routers, or anything that will work with pppoe login. it seems like inet connection sharing is the only awnser. or in my case, im going to tell ALL customers form now on that AOL them selfes discloses that they BLOCK the use of the use of a firewall because that would prevent AOL customers pc's from being accessed by AOL themselfes, and that aol has allways had access to its clients computerswant access to the individuals data files. aol, lie to me, and ill lie to your clients dan

If you have AOL DSL and want to use multiple computers to access the internet it is easy. Though you can not game online, all computers can share internet access. You need to go to AnalogX.com and DL the program called Proxy. There is a detailed readme in there telling u how to do it. basically you need the AOL computer to have 2 network cards, an ethernet hub (not a DSL CABLE router) and 1 network card on all computers sharing the connection. It will tell you how to configure Internet Explorer and IP addresses for the net cards in the readme. I used it last week hoping to be able to game, but all I could do was surf the net and that was it. So if surfing is all you really want, then do that. Also , you can get a router from AOL for $130.00 that has there proprietary pppoe inside.

I have set up a Siemens 2623 Router for 2 of my computers. My problem is that I used to play Age of Empires II against my friend online and now I can't. Everyone tells me I have to open a port for us to be able to play each other yet no one at tech support can specify what I need to do. If anyone knows how, I will be eternally grateful.
