Can't Access AOL Site
Begining a few days ago I wansn't able to access www.aol.com. I can get to http://www.aol.com/support/ but I can't go in my webmail. Everyone else can see aol.com so I don;t know what could be wrong. I tried flushing the DNS but that din't work.

Check your hosts file and the proxy settings in IE.

Search for hosts with NO extension - open it in notepad and make sure there is nothing in it except localhost - 127.0.0.1
Internet Options - Connections - LAN settings - uncheck all 3 boxes. |

the host file has some writing, but they are comments. it shows like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost should it be localhost - 127.0.0.1 and all 3 boxes are unchecked |

Try a different browser (Opera, Mozilla, Firebird) as a test to see if it's an IE issue or a system issue.

I had the same problem recently. My mailbox had been hacked and someone was using it as a source for sending spam. Had to call aol tech support number and they had all boxes on that account locked out. They gave me the locked password so I could get back in and change all the passwords. Maybe you've got the same problem?

 I'll see whats up.
