although i just dumped spamaol observations below. between spam, lack of address and mail management in 4.0 and unstable 5.0 i dumped spamaol after 10 years, for davisp.com for less $, only bad thing is you have to have os 10.2.8 and java 1.4.1.
if you have a router you have a lan, try setting up as lan to see if it will hold. If you set up as lan it should not interfere with tcp/ip settings. it appears that now, you are logging in and aol has control of modem/tcp. when you restart the computer resumes control until you start aol with current (aol) setup. setting to lan should resolve problem. charles [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi; is anyone else having this problem? > > I have wireless 802.11b in my home, via a cable modem and a wirless router, > and all is well... > > EXCEPT when I try to use my AOL 5.0 (for non-OSX Macs).
