Same as others with the pop-up problem. I read some
micrsoft notices about turning on firewall. As a dial up
connection, I right click on the connection in control
panel to see properties, and I get nothing. Am I not
supposed to see a proerties window for a dial up
connection? Help.
 
Greetings --

You'll either need to find a 3rd party firewall that is compatible
with AOL, or switch to a real ISP that is compatible with the real
Internet..

AOL is an on-line content provider that ignores international
Internetworking standards in favor of its own proprietary products,
and has deliberately made its connection software incompatible with
both WinXP's built-in firewall and WinXP's Internet Connection Sharing
feature. AOL's proprietary connection applet is deliberately designed
to preclude your setting/adjusting any of its properties, to include
enabling/disabling WinXP's ICF and ICS.
