You can't use a router to share AOL because of the proprietary software. The best you can do is put 2 nics into PC1 and use ICS and a crossover cable to share with PC2, and you cannot use the AOL software on PC2 unless you have a second account (not just a second screen name), you have to sign on with PC1 and you can use standard Internet apps on PC2.
