For me, this almost always works. Yes, that is EXACTLY what happens to me. And sometimes, it seems to make my entire wireless network go down, necessitating turning the power off then on on my cable modem and wireless router. > Once in awhile, I will get a repeat sign-off.

I thought it might be limited to the laptop itself... but once when the AOL disconnect seemed to knock out my wireless altogether, I got on my wired PC desktop, and it worked. I then got on another wifi laptop (a Mac) and it did not work. In any event, I tried setting the script (in AOL's Expert Settings) to "Airport" instead of "Cable Modem" which was recommended. So far, I have not had that dreaded "Welcome/Goodbye!" sign on-off thingie... Thanks, Craig W. Atlanta GA -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
