Just to throw a spanner in the works I am having the same problems with mse on my PC but I do not use a router - use a BT voyager modem with AOL I am here now thanks to edi7ons suggestion of hidemyass.com (wonder if it will work in real life - i have some new jeans to try on :rotfl:)So any suggestions for non router users?

sorry, its been a while since i used aol, but i did have the same modem. have you run the aol setup disc on both systems? setup disc includes drivers for modem, how come you are using IE over aol browser? preference?

no skint its not preference - long story but my pc recently had a major paddy and i had to have everything removed. Asked Aol for a new disc (I had given mine to someone and not got it back) and they sent me 6 new discs over 2 months - all for Macs not PC. Anyway after having a rant on the phone to their award winning customer service in India (the award being the worst customer service ever experienced) they got me back on line but via IE (strangely I prefer the AOL browser anyday - sorry) So I havent run any set up discs cos i havent got any (although I could do a mean trade on ebay for any mac users)

Aparently AOL are having trouble resolving websites at the moment and are hoping to have it sorted within 48 hours (a member from here is having the same problem on AOL and posted it on another website after contacting their live help)
