Try not using aol's interface, can you browse the internet using ie instead of aol's interface, if so see if it is any better...:rotfl:

Are you on a PPPoE connection

PPPoE you have to log on with name and password.
PPPoE ( Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet ) is a method for building PPP sessions and encapsulating packets, as described in RFC2516. Although it is not a standard, PPPoE is already being used by a number of DSL providers. It requires either routers that have built-in PPPoE support, or PPPoE software to "dial up" and establish the session.
