This may be one of several problems. There are some simple steps you may take to try to fix this problem.
•Close all other programs before trying to connect.
•Check physical connections.
•Download and install updated DSL modem drivers.
•Make sure your filters are correctly installed.
•Wait 1-2 hours. Go watch a movie or something.
•Reset your DSL modem.
If all fails, then you need to contact AOL and check if your area is experiencing difficulties with their network or your Central Office (C.O.).

To check for line noise, pick up the phone and dial 1. You should hear nothing. If you hear a noise, go to the phone box outside of your house. Connect a phone to that box and do the same test to check for noise. If there is noise, it is a problem with the phone company. If there is no noise, turn all appliances off inside. Then do the test to check for line noise. If there is no noise, turn one appliance on, check for noise, then turn on another if there is no noise. When there is noise after turning on a certain appliance, try to put that appliance away from phone lines.
