I misread the title there for a minute, I thought it said AOL broadband not working, I couldn\'t help but think to myself "jesus christ, it didn\'t take them long to cock that up did it?"

I think I need to get my eyes cleaned.

The question is why would you want to use AOL anyways?

there is NOTHING the ISP can do to not allow you to share a connection

get a switch at least, a router if you can

ICS is in win98 and above. It is the easiest, but not the best way to share a net connection.

yeah, get a router and plug your wire from your modem into it.  Then from the router plug as many computers as you want into it.  (AOL would only see the router as being online, and it will mistakenly see it as a computer).

It\'s really easy
