i have netscape canada dsl, which is aol.ca dsl and when i first got my account and installed the software i could not connect because my username/pass were invalid, when i phoned they said the username and pass were fine and worked on their end, so i got them to make another, same thing it worked for them and not for me, so i got another password, same problem, so finally after the 4th password it started to work for some reason, its definetly a problem on their end, i used to do internet tech support and i also do pc repair/sales and i know when its a problem on their end, when i recently re-installed windows i didn't even bother with the software, i just installed a driver for the modem and then setup the network account using the winxp network setup program and it has worked flawlessly ever since, once you get it sorted out and have a username and password that works right i imagine you can just get rid of the aol software like i did and save yourself a headache, all it seems to do for me is run services in the background that take up ram and it is way slower starting up a connection to the net, without it i connect to the net in about 1 second everytime |
