Re: Easier UK Method
My connection keeps dropping out.
aol8 (as 9 won't connect at all) with a BT Voyager Modem.
Tried to do the above connecting thing but on windows 98 you don't get the network connection option... without making the new connection that was posted last..I double clicked on the arrows and entered my user name and password..but it kept telling me it needed a telephone number, so I typed DSL and it connected !!.....
Am I connected properly or will AOL be sending me a massive dial up bill?? Thanks |

| I have setup via Internet Connection Sharing on Xp and have been surfing on my laptop  It's fun without any wires  :D:D
I think theirs a link somewhere in this forum about how to set up ICS, since that showed me how to do it. Or search Microsoft.com with either ICS or Internet Connection Sharing I am sure they'res a guide their.
Hehe and AOL said they didn't support Home Networking  |

if your connecting at 500+ kbs then your using dsl, therefore you wont be charged.
To check if you are try downloading it should be somewhere between 30/60 kbs.
Anyway I don't think a DsL modem could make a normal Dial up connection |

UK | Do you guys think It would be good to write up a guide about this, using information from this topic?
Then hopefully that would get stickied, I think this one is too messed-up for a stickying... |
