AOL takes over TCP/IP and settings. Unless you manually switch them back to your other ISP you will not be able to connect. In AOL you can do this in the menu bar My AOL->Preferences->AOL Link->Restore Or in the TCP/IP Control Panel's "Connect via" menu. Change "AOL Link Enhanced" to "PPP" and the "Configure" menu to "Using PPP Server" I'm us OS 8.6 with AOL 5.0 but I seem to remember the same applies to OS 8.1. Perhaps you know this, if so my apologies. Best Regards --glen (digest mode) -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
