I have set 2 pc's up on a wireless network and they can see each other fine and the 2nd one picked up my 576kbs connection to the internet through aol. But I can't get it on the internet it says connected at the above speed but when I go to internet explorer it says page not found. I am sure its simple can someone point me in the right direction.

I have the same problem except I've been working on it for about a year. From what I've read and discovered on my own, it's more or less impossible to network AOL like *any* other ISP. I suggest dropping it (which is what I'm going to do ASAP) as you will more than likely never get it to work right.
PS: Sorry for being so pesimisstic but its just my experience and my opinion.
Alert me after you respond otherwise I'll forget to come back.

If your broadband provider is AOL, you have to login to AOL before using Internet Explorer. You have to install AOL on each computer. We have 4 computers work fine wired when we changed to an approved router. First read the installation instructions from AOL. Second make sure your router is compatible with AOL. Our first attempt with wireless AOL software could not connect to the wireless adapter. We now have a second wireless router which we are trying to connect to a laptop with built-in wireless. (so far without success) The following was installed when AOL first offered broadband. I haven't done anything since.

Would be much easy to just get another ISP besides AOL IMO..

You actually Dont even have to open up the AOL software to dial into AOL. You just go into Network connections. create a new connection, connect to the internet, setup my connection manually, connect using broadband connection that requires user name and password, isp name is "www.aol.com" that is even for the UK folks, the go to next and enter in your screen name and password... No time limits no nothing.. happy surfin...
