hi

I have installed a router in a office where they user AOL 9 on windows XP.

I have added a new AOL account that the router logs into the ADSL with, and they are set up to use simultanious logins.

Everything works fine people can log into AOL and surf the internet through AOL but if they try and use internet explorer it says the page cannot be displayed.

If you try and ping a web site from the command prompt this works fine and resolved the ip address properly. Internet explorer however resolves the name then tells me that page cannot be displayed.

any ideas
 
My advice: get rid of AOL - it sucks.

Anyway: I don't know how AOL works, but it sounds like e.g. a proxyserver missing in Extra->Options->Connections.

Peace,

Yellow
 
Try checking the option for "Automatically detect settings" in the IE Options. Also uncheck the other two options for proxy and autoconfigure script if they are checked. If that fails, try these commands...(credit goes to bcastner)

regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Msjava.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Browseui.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll

If you get an error, move on to the next command.
