Ah, see, there you are. When you use TCP/IP to connect to AOL, you have to already have a 'net connection. In other words, you are _already_ connected to a service and AOL just tunnels it's packets through that connection.
So, this method won't work for connecting directly to AOL. You will still need to use AOL Link (and not PPP) if you don't have a 2nd ISP besides AOL. As for why your connection isn't working, "Caprice1014," you have said you've checked all the settings... So your AOL connection attempt fails each time your modem starts connecting to the remote modem... For each number. Can you dial into any other services? I'm thinking that your modem is too fast... Sometimes if I'm trying to connect at 56k (or thereabouts), I'll get all the way through the connection process when AOL will complain and drop me down to a lower speed (33.6, 28.8). Sometimes I loose the connection entirely at that point. Maybe there's all of a sudden a lot of noise on your telephone line? Try configuring the modem to connect at 33.6 and see what happens... Other than that, I can't think of what could be the problem...
