I have 2 PC's. One is running WinXP Pro. The other has 98SE. I have been sharing my internet connection with no trouble whatsoever until I switched to AOL. First of all, AOL does not show up in network connections, so I cannot get to the properties of this connection to enable sharing. I have tried to use the 98SE machine as a host, but it still will not work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
 
internet connectiono sharing will not work with AOL. sorry. "Jack of all trades. Master of none."
 
Found a way to get it to work but I am not exactly happy with it. I use AnalogX Proxy and it works fine normally, but I lose some of the features. My girlfriend's computer has yahoo messenger and it does not support voice chat through a proxy. S**t happens I guess.
 
AOL just needs to get off their "high horse" and let everyone enjoy the internet! "Jack of all trades. Master of none."

I haven't responded in a while but I got past the problem sorta. I put AOHELL 6 on my girlfriends computer and installed Sygate Home Network on hers as a server and mine as a client. It works great and she for some reason likes AOL 6 better anyway. And I do agree with interNETech about AOL getting off their high horse. Thanks for the responses. I'll have to check out All Aboard and see what it's all about. Thanks Dave3DT.
