Hi,

I have a lan networks where we use AOL as the broadband provider. For the router I use a Linksys WAG54G. The problem I am getting is that AOL Hangs and the net crashes after 30 mins of it beeing on. This is very annoying. The net works fine when I dont use the AOL Software but i need this to check my emails etc. Any ideas? I have gone though all the help options with no luck AOL Support isnt that good.

Hope you can help

Thanks

Andrew

I myself would suggest that you don't use the AOL software because not only is it a resource hog, but it also corrupts your Internet Explorer browser and other settings. What I suggest you do is download FIREFOX and use that for your browser. As for your email, I suggest that you use OUTLOOK EXPRESS. Visit here or here for information on how to setup Outlook express to work with AOL email.
