I recently bought a Linksys wireless router. I hooked it up and I can
connect to the web with IE, Firefox or Netscape and my internet programs
work fine but I can no longer connect to AOL using the AOL software. I
can connect to AOL if I connect the modem right to the computer but not
with the router hooked up. Linksys blames AOL and AOL blames Linksys.
Does anybody have any clue what the problem might be?

This page suggests that you need to forward some ports for AOL, but I
would suspect that AOL support would know about that.

Nonetheless, the problem does sound like a problem with blocked ports.
