Aol

[blade47167]

Ok I have aol and want to share it over my network its just dial-up i've looked over the net and found there it is more than likely not possible. So i thought if there was some way to connect to aol without going through aol's software that it might be possible so if anyone knows a program that alows u to do this or knows how to do this could they please help also if you know how to do it with the aol software that would be good also. thx

What do you want to share? Do you mean the AOL browser? Do you mean files? Or do you want to use a different browser than AOL?

Sharing any service over dial-up is really not worth it. A single PC on dial-up is slow alone, adding to that can produce results one would see using a 9600 modem. Save the bandwith for that one PC. Now if you get broadband, well that is a different story.

I want to share the internet connection over the network. I know it will be slow but i only want it for using instant messageing so it should be just fine can u please tell me how?

Why dont you just dl a free Internet service and download AIM??? That way 2 computers can be on the internet and if all its for is using AIM and instant messaging you shouldnt be too dissapointed...cause those free internet companies usually dont have the $$ to offer great performance. I dont know if they still have it, Juno used to have a free internet deal....if they dont, try doing a search on google.com for a "free internet"

What version of AOL and what version of Windows? Sharing an AOL dialup may or may not be possible, depending on these issues.

For what AOL costs, you would be much better off with a standard DUN-type Internet account such as Earthlink, that will share easily and you can run AIM over it.
