-Did you ever think to toggle the option in AOL's config that you have to toggle to use your connection with other applications ?

-In order to use netscape, some of my associates have had to toggle this AOL option. (back before they knew any better, they started with AOL) Sorry, I use a real ISP not a web page provider, so I am unfamiliar with their option menus, otherwise I would offer the location of the switch.

-I must say I have worked with some real rock heads that held MCSE certs. lol @ how truely worthless they really are.

-P.S. If you work at an ISP then why the hell were you using AOL? Is it possibly becasue you were a lot less knowledgeable then ? This would in-validate your defense that "I work for an ISP troubleshooting WAN / LAN connetions all day". You were not at that knowledge level when you used AOL. Or when you un-justly tried to assult them based on your own ignorant mistake. Don't get me wrong, AOL sucks for manr reasons like cost and ads and targeted search results.

Once again the monkeys in aol corp VA...are tinkering with their Meth lab.

not to mention the fact that anyone with any real technical knowledge wouldn't touch an AOL connection with a 10 ft pole, much less sign up for one. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3061649 Wed, 17 Apr 2002 15:51:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3059752 Angrychair : Really? I'm not trying to make you look dumb or anything, but AOL uses Internet explorer as it's browser, and ICQ is OWNED by AOL.

What you can do in a microsoft or cisco course really doesn't impress anyone here, especially when you're using AOL.

Yeah, they suck, but they're not blocking their own products.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3059752 Wed, 17 Apr 2002 12:15:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3059646 anon : It was not the machine. I made straight A's in my microsoft classes and passed my cisco class with a C. Since I work for an ISP I have to troubleshoot WAN LAN connections all day long. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3059646 Wed, 17 Apr 2002 11:58:25 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3059032 Angrychair : With someone using AOL, I have to say your statement is more than just a remote possibility. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3059032 Wed, 17 Apr 2002 10:34:38 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3059016 soothsayer15 : It had to be your computer. I'm no AOL fan, but I was able to do all of those things. People blame the ISP because they refuse to believe there could be a possibility they don't know what they are doing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3059016 Wed, 17 Apr 2002 10:31:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3058846 anon : I dont know if they are still doing it, but aol blocked all ports of non-aol programs. Such as icq, Internet explorer, and yahoo chat. When i called aol about this, the person cliamed they do not block ports, but i could not tracert or ping past thier proxy server. So, I disconnected aol and will never go back. I dont need and ISP telling me which programs i can and can not run.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3058846 Wed, 17 Apr 2002 10:04:52 EDT
