Airport Extreme Dial up and AOL
According to Internet Connect it dials the local AOL number and connects. However, once connected I cannot open any of of the browsers I have and have THEM connect. (Error connecting is one of the messages)
Can anyone help? I am wondering if there should not be some way to log in to AOL at somepoint. Perhaps I am connected to AOL and it is at the log in spot waiting on me, and that's why nonr of the browsers will connect?
